The first comprehensive book that answers why the dangerous suburban gang trend has occurred, what can be done to address it, and how to stop gangs from forming.

Abstract: In the late 1980s, youths from affluent, upscale communities began forming their own gangs for the first time in the US and European history. Even countries such as Switzerland are experiencing the unprecedented appearance of these gangs. In the mid-1980s investigative journalist, Dan Korem, predicted in university lectures that gangs in upscale communities would become a chronic trend due to specific social trends he had observed first-hand. This led to research on suburban gangs over a period of seven years in eleven countries and the only comprehensive book on the subject. Since its release, Suburban Gangs-The Affluent Rebels has received widespread critical acclaim and is regularly referenced in the law enforcement and educational communities. A number of universities now use it as a classic text on gangs, how they form, and gang prevention.
