Read Excerpt B below about immigration and answer the vocabulary question which follow.
Excerpt B For more than ten years (1991), sociologist Martin Jankowski did participant observation of thirtyseven gangs in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York City. Contrary to stereotypes, Jankowski did not find that the motive for joining was to escape a broken home (there were as many members from intact as from broken homes) or to seek a substitute family (since as many boys said they were close to their families as said they were not). Rather, the boys joined to gain access to money, to have recreation (including girls and drugs), to maintain anonymity in committing crimes, to get protection, and to help the community. This last reason may seem surprising, but in some neighborhoods gangs protect residents from outsiders. The boys also saw the gang as an alternative to the dead-end jobs held by their parents. Neighborhood residents are ambivalent about gangs. On the one hand, they fear the violence. On the other hand, many adults once belonged to gangs, [stating that] since gang members are the children of people who live in the neighborhood, they often provide better protection than the police. 1.
