The problem is analyzed as part of the surging crime waves in the context of the nation’s economic reform and its implementation of the one-child policy. The economic reform and the implementation of the one-child policy have led to significant changes in Chinese cultural values and beliefs, lifestyles, population patterns, parenting practices, and social control. All the changes constitute a unique context in which youth gangs have emerged as a public concern in China. The study also explores the characteristics and progression of youth gangs in China using available information. It concludes with discussions of China’s control strategies on youth gangs and the limitations of gang research in China. Details: Loretto, PA: Saint Francis University, 2009. 31p.
