Research weapons used in street gangs in the 1970's. Compare the weapons used the street gangs in the 1970's to the current gangs of now. Explain why you think there is a difference. Respond to two classmates.
Gang members feel loose bonds to the gang. Gang members collectively perceive a threat from a rival gang. A mobilizing event occurs -- possibly, but not necessarily, violent. There is an escalation of activity. One of the gangs lashes out in violence. Violence and activity rapidly deescalate. The other gang retaliates.
The weapons that they use was knifes, pistols, and machine guns. Now in day they use more powerful stuff like snipers or etc. there is a difference because gangs did not think much of there weapons.
1970s: Weapons used in gang violence are relatively simple, such as knives and chains, and opposing gang members meet face-to-face to fight. Today: Gang members may use AK-47s or Uzis, and drive-by shootings have replaced vacant-lot rumbles.

Youth gang violence from the 1950's to the 1980's has a curious history. Miller (1992:2) contended that the national perspective of gangs during this period was dominated by a New York City media view: "a flowering in the 1950s, death in the 1960s, revival in the early 1970s, and dormancy in the later 1970s." His survey of gang problems in major American cities (Miller, 1975, 1992) proved the latter part of this media theory to be wrong. Miller's study showed that gang violence was very prevalent in the 1960's and 1970's. He argued that nothing had changed from the 1950's; rather, media and public attention were diverted from gangs to the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and ensuing riots. Also using tommy gun and a hand gun called 1911
In one sad neighborhood here, where funerals for young men and boys are now commonplace, people say the "Gun Man" drives through the streets, selling pistols from the back of a light-blue van.

They use whatever they can steal or obtain on the street since they are unable to legally purchase any firearms. Cheap revolvers are common. The Intratec Tec-9 and other "cool looking" guns that they see on television are desirable. Tec-9s are cheaply made and tend to jam frequently.
Theirs a huge difference in today's chose of weapons in gangs and back in the 70's. There is a huge population of guns that gangs use now vs. back in the 70's they mostly used shanks (knives) and broken bottles.
