Furthermore, the book emphasizes female participation in gangs as well as the impact that gangs have on non- participating adolescents. The author also discusses how current public policy is based on erroneous assumptions associated with the culture of poverty model. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book attempts to explain what appears to be self-defeating behavior of many Chicana adolescents.
