Describe the hard core gang member
What will be an ideal response?
Those who are strongly attached to the gang, participate regularly, and have few interests outside of the gang (in other words, the gang is practically their whole life).Vigil describes these individuals as having "had a more problematic early life. They became street oriented earlier. They became gang members sooner, and they participated in the destructive patterns over a longer period of time.". These individuals also lacked a consistent male adult in their lives, which made the streets even more attractive as they began to emulate other gang members. For these persons, getting into the gang was seen as a rite of passage. They also began experimenting with drugs and engaging in street fighting at a much earlier age than other kinds of members.
