项目摘要

APPLICANT'S ABSTRACT: The aim of this project is to explore the relations between alcohol consumption, violence and ethnic youth gangs. To date concern with gang-related violence has tended to concentrate on the role of illicit drugs and has largely ignored the significant role of alcohol in gang life. Using a combination of both qualitative research methods and social survey techniques, we plan to identify and locate all known gangs in San Francisco, conduct short term field observations of their activities and interview 400 gang members. Based on our previous gang research in San Francisco, we expect to locate approximately 80-100 different gangs. From this total, we propose a stratified sample within each of the three major ethnic groups - African-American, Latino and Chicano, and Asian- American - which, with weighting in our quantitative analyses, will provide a representative sample of gangs in San Francisco. Five gangs of each major ethnic group will be randomly chosen. By utilizing a precoded interview schedule, a life-history interview guide and an in- depth focused interview schedule, the project will examine the possible associations between alcohol consumption, the role of alcohol in gang life and gang-related violent behavior. Such analyses will have two important benefits. First, it should provide insight into the role of alcohol in gang- related violence and inform prevention practitioners on potential interventions which may help to reduce violent behavior associated with drinking practices. Second, the investigation will satisfy two research topic priorities outlined in the recent NIH panel report (1994) on violence and aggression. These include the need for more information on Hispanic, African-American and Asian-American groups, and the need for more research on the impact of social units, such as gangs, on aggressive and violent behavior.

申请人摘要：该项目的目的是探索饮酒、暴力和少数民族青年帮派之间的关系。迄今为止，对帮派相关暴力的关注往往集中在违禁药物的作用，并在很大程度上忽视了其重要作用帮派生活中的酒精。结合定性研究方法和社会研究方法调查技术，我们计划识别并定位圣市所有已知的帮派弗朗西斯科，对其活动进行短期实地观察并采访了 400 名帮派成员。根据我们之前对旧金山的帮派研究 Francisco，我们预计会找到大约 80-100 个不同的帮派。从这个总数中，我们提出了三个样本中的一个分层样本主要种族群体——非裔美国人、拉丁裔和奇卡诺人以及亚洲人—— 美国 - 通过我们定量分析的权重，将提供旧金山帮派的代表性样本。五个帮派每个主要种族群体的成员将被随机选择。通过利用预编码的访谈时间表、生活史访谈指南和内部信息深度集中采访安排，该项目将检查可能的饮酒之间的关联，酒精在帮派中的作用生活和与帮派有关的暴力行为。此类分析将有两个重要的好处。首先，它应该提供对角色的深入了解与帮派相关的暴力中的酒精并告知预防从业人员可能有助于减少暴力行为的潜在干预措施与饮酒习惯有关。二、调查将满足最近 NIH 小组概述的两个研究主题优先事项关于暴力和侵略的报告（1994年）。这些包括需要有关西班牙裔、非裔美国人和亚裔美国人群体的更多信息，以及需要对社会单位的影响进行更多研究，例如团伙的攻击性和暴力行为。
