A Glasgow Gang Observed by James Patrick

A grounded study of Glasgow gang culture, examining the loyalties, pressures and social conditions that shaped the lives of those involved.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with Scottish roots and a genuine interest in community, identity and the social forces behind people's lives. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by James Patrick, A Glasgow Gang Observed examines gang life from within, focusing on the relationships, loyalties and circumstances that influenced the young people involved.

Rather than treating gang culture simply as a story of criminal behaviour, the book considers poverty, belonging, community and urban life, placing individual choices within a much wider social setting.

A revealing read for those interested in criminology, sociology, Scottish social history and the realities behind youth gangs and urban crime.
