Subject field(s)
  • Criminology
DEF

The act of using street gang signs, signals and symbols to show affiliation to the gang.

CONT

... people of similar tastes and lifestyles converge on a Website that [displays] key signals. Gang members using such sites may be signalling and, thus, provoking visitors to join the gang.

OBS

Gangs often establish distinctive, characteristic identifiers including graffiti tags, colors, hand-signals, clothing, jewelry, hair styles, fingernails, slogans, signs such as the swastika, the noose, or the burning cross, flags, for example, the Confederate flag, secret greetings, slurs, or code words and other group-specific symbols associated with the gang's common beliefs, rituals, and mythologies to define and differentiate themselves from rival groups and gangs. As an alternative language, signs, symbols, and slurs in speech, graffiti, print, music, or other mediums communicate specific informational cues used to threaten, disparage, taunt, harass, intimidate, alarm, influence, or exact specific responses including obedience, submission, fear, or terror.
