CONT

In the gang, each member had the experience of a sense of acceptance, a sense of status. An act of ruthlessness or violence allowed individual members to earn a sense of recognition and affirmation from the gang. The extreme violent behaviours such as unprovoked gang assaults on innocent solitary victims, or repeatedly assaulting a victim who is on the ground and injured, reinforced this sense of being one of the group.
