title: MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF GANG DELINQUENCY: III. AGE AND PHYSIQUE OF GANGS AND CLUBS.
abstract: A sample of gang members and a Comparison Group of club boys are com- pared with reference to national norms for age, height and weight of juveniles. Possible relationships between these variables and five Behavior Factor Scores are examined. It is found that the gang boys are shorter than club boys at the sub-groups as well as the aggregate level. It is also found that gangs differ among themselves on age, height and weight. These differences are related to differences in behaviors. Furthermore, gangs differ sharply among themselves in regard to the within-gang connections between age, height and weight and behavior. Discussion centers upon group process effects.
