The Ur street gang plays a central role in the imagery of violence currently being disseminated by the MM. Testing the reality of this image requires careful empirical studies of actual gangs. A study involving 150 gangs in Midcity, a slum district of an eastern metropolis, & focusing on 7 gangs subject to intensive field observation reveals marked diff's between the public imagery & res-derived findings. While members of slum street gangs engaged in violent crime to a greater degree than Me adolescents, violence was not a central preoccupation of the gangs, & most violent crimes were of the less serious variety. Cruel or sadistic violence was rare; violence was seldom senseless or irrational. Property damage was relatively uncommon.

The social structure of the nation—its hierarchy, driven by a light-skinned population, most of whom are ethnically mestizo but who do not identify with the purely Indigenous—its history, and its small size make it an important site for the documentation and reporting of ethnic disputes and differences.
