This week we speak with David Pyrooz from the University of Colorado Boulder. We talk about gangs in the United States as well as internationally. What are the characteristics of gangs and gang members? We also talk about David's recently published paper studying gangs and self-control. Finally, we do some gang myth busting. David has been published in journals such as Criminology, Journal of Quantitative Criminology and Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency. David is also the author of the book on prison gangs: Competing for Control. You can find David on Twitter @dpyrooz.
