Across the globe, the phenomenon of youth gangs has become an important and
sensitive public issue. In this context, an increasing level of research
attention has focused on the development of universalized definitions of gangs in
a global context. In this article, we argue that this search for similarity has
resulted in a failure to recognize and understand difference. Drawing on an
alternative methodology we call a 'global exchange', this article suggests three
concepts-homologies of habitus, vectors of difference and transnational
reflexivity-that seek to re-engage the sociological imagination in the study of
gangs and globalization.
