“…subculture exists, and the gang often serves as a type of surrogate family (Belitz & Valdez, 1994;Harris, 1994;Moore, 1991;Rodriguez, 2000;Tellez & Estep, 1997;Vigil, 1988Vigil, , 1996Vigil, , 1999Zatz, 1985;Zatz & Portillos, 2000).…”

Choloization, a staple in gang research on Latinos, asserts that gang members are less acculturated than non-gang members. However, the concept has not been subjected to a quantitative analysis. Using a sample of Latino incarcerated youths from Los Angeles County (N = 370), the veracity of the concept of choloization using the ARSMA-II Acculturation Scale is examined. It was hypothesized that gang members have more of a Mexican orientation than non-gang members. The hypothesis was supported, providing empirical evidence for choloization. The authors suggest that the findings can assist in delinquency intervention but caution that the results can also further disenfranchise Latino gang members.
