City Gangs is Walter Miller's unpublished masterpiece. Based on three years of field work with gang youth in Roxbury, Miller expands on the core themes of culture, family and group cohesiveness. He describes in great detail the role of delinquent and non-delinquent activities in the lives of the young men and women in the seven gangs he studied. The book occupies an important place in our understanding of youth programming, communities, families and gangs.
