Discuss the history of the skinheads and how they are identified
What will be an ideal response?
Youths have belonged to skinhead organizations since the early 1980s. However, skinhead groups are not all avowed racists; they can be divided into both racist and nonracist subgroupings. The racist skinheads advocate white supremacy, but the nonracist skinheads have a multiracial membership. They are rivals and often engage in violent confrontations. Skinhead gangs in the United States have their roots in a similar movement in England during the late 1950s. The skinhead movement in the Southern California area began in the late 1970s. These early groups were not just kids hanging out in local malls, for they soon began to develop a collective identify around shared interests that included various dress styles, such as Doctor Martin (steel-toed) boots, blue jeans, military flight jackets, short-cropped hair, T-shirts, Ben Shermans (similar to polo shirts), and specialized slang language.
