Gangs and Methods Article One
Researchers are still debating the best possible technique in which to measure gang membership. However, a growing consensus of the self-nominated technique seems to provide a justifiable measurement of gang involvement and violent offending, including policy and program recommendations.
The purpose of this paper is to examine if certain risk factors in multiple domains in connection to criminological theories of gang membership and are they similar to or differ with those connected with violent offending. With particular questions that have been raised, such as: Do the risk factors apply independence effects when other factors are controlled in a multivariate analysis? To what extent are the patterns similar or different between both and what are the odds of violent offending among gang membership (Esbensen, Peterson, Taylor, & Freng, 2009).

Furthermore, the data gathered for this study is the ordinal and the ratio (scale) level of measurement, frequency and percent distribution, across tabulation, a regression and a multivariate analysis of eighteen risk factors, z-score test for equality of co-efficient, and a bivariate analysis of the risk factors in a domain. In the past, the Communities that Care (CTC) model, identifies risk factors within five major domains: the individual, family, peer, school, and the community (Esbensen, et al.,
