Vigil describes the gang subculture as a lifeway for youths because early life experiences appear to be the most important determinants of whether one will become a gang member. Also, the existence of age-graded cliques means that "there is a place for everyone, even the youngest member" because this "allows for gang regeneration with the inclusion of each new generation" (Vigil, 1988:87).
