Popis: |
This study examines an observed contradiction in a city with a high level of group-based youth violence and some juvenile justice stakeholders who deny the presence of gangs. Drawing on interviews and focus groups, we use framing theory to understand how definitions of gangs are constructed and contested. We attend to the language and rhetorical strategies used by stakeholders and find two distinct frames at work which we call “community health” and “community safety.” Our findings have implications for those planning youth violence interventions or research, as the terminology and framing used during the early stages of these projects can impact the investment of necessary stakeholders as well as outcomes for youth. |
