What's a gang? In a new vignette study, JDensley @dpyrooz & @jsanchez318 asked a US YouGov sample, describing a teen group and varying its features. They find that group names, violent activity, and structure all shape what the public considers a gang.

When starting the #LoneStarProject back in 2014, this was the question I always wanted to examine:

What happens to the gang ties of people when they leave prison and return to the community?

Fast forward 10 years and I finally have an article to share
