Number of pages:
18
ABSTRACT:
18 pages in length. Gang violence is as prevalent a local crime problem in Tasmania as it is anywhere else in the world where social, cultural, economic and political desires collide with the harsh reality of perceived determinism. Tasmania is no different in this regard and struggles to reach a balance between dealing with civil unrest and engaging gang mentality upon a more effective level. Looking at this crime problem from the perspective of anomie and labeling theories provides a diverse interpretation of why gang violence exists as based upon fundamental components of class status and racial profiling. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
