“…However, gang members were no more likely than non-gang members to have used any of the other drugs asked about. Indeed, they were significantly less likely to have used heroin in the last 12 months, and significantly less likely to have injected a drug in the last 12 months (Bennett and Holloway, 2004). Conversely, other studies carried out in the US (on a sample of school students and school dropouts) have found that more serious forms of drug use were more common in gang members than non-gang members (this included heroin and cocaine use) (Fagan, 1996).…”

“…This found that current gang members were significantly more likely than non-gang members to report committing theft from a vehicle, handling, robbery and drug selling in the last 12 months. In addition, they were more likely to have possessed and used a weapon (Bennett and Holloway, 2004). Studies have also examined the level of drug use in gang and non-gang individuals.…”

“…The possibility of illegal use, of course, remains however, further complicated by the plentiful (if somewhat salacious) media interest in gun crime, despite important critiques having been made of the 'media effects' debate on violence (e.g. Barker and Petley 2001), as well as a policy and criminological interest in illegal firearm usage by criminal gangs (Hales et al 2006;Bennett and Holloway 2004) and incidence of gunshot injury (Persad et al 2005).…”

Actualmente el fenómeno social del narcotráfico y la violencia relacionada a la drogas ha minimizado las implicaciones del consumo de drogas en pandillas. Este artículo se basa en entrevistas semi-estructuradas a profundidad de un estudio realizado con jóvenes de pandillas del área Metropolitana de Nuevo León, México, con el objetivo de reflexionar y analizar el consumo de drogas como práctica cultural dentro de las pandillas. En la búsqueda del significado, lo primero que se muestra es el inicio de los miembros de pandillas en el consumo de drogas, y se describe la forma en que las drogas le son presentadas por la familia y/o los amigos miembros de la pandilla. Posteriormente se describe el significado del uso de drogas en la vida cotidiana de las pandillas y se observa en qué medida su uso es aceptable y normalizado.
