‘Youth gang’ is a phrase that strikes fear and trepidation into the hearts of many people in Western countries of the world. This includes Australia where it is bandied around in frenetic discussions in national online and print media. Zero tolerance policing and criminal justice approaches have emerged in various jurisdictions within a climate of heightened fear and insecurity, approaches that further demonise and alienate the young people implicated. This cycle of moral panic about youth gangs, repeated ad nauseam, often damages perceptions about young people generally. The irony is that youthful social groupings we sometimes recognise as gang‐related have emerged out of similar circumstances to those above. As Rob White astutely argues in his text Youth Gangs, Violence and Social Respect: Exploring the Nature of Provocations and Punch‐ups, youth gang formations do not reflect the media‐perpetuated idea of motivated and organised groups of young people seeking to perpetrate harm on others.
