Indicate two reasons why the data source for the National Youth Gang Survey may influence estimates that only 10% of gang members are female.
What will be an ideal response?
The National Youth Gang Survey is the only nationally representative annual survey of gang membership in the United States. Data are collected by law enforcement agencies, which may influence the finding that only 10% of gang members are female for the following reasons: (1) Girls leave gangs earlier than boys and are thus less prevalent as offenders in street crimes and (2) law enforcement personnel tend to pay less attention to younger gangs since they are less responsible for serious crimes than older gangs.
