Students should expect to post (at least) 5-7 insightful sentences organized around a main theme in response to the DB prompt. When you post your second response (on the post of a fellow student), you should specifically identify whether you agree or disagree with a fellow classmate’s post and why. This should be (at least) 5-7 sentences. In response posts, be sure to go beyond simply agreeing or disagreeing to contextualize your response in ideas from the course materials, and to engage with your fellow students.
Please write a paragraph (5/7 sentences supporting one main idea) for each part of the prompt. That is the best way to stay organized, focused, and comprehensive. If you have one section that is substantially shorter, you probably need to add some evidence/examples/details from the readings to support that section.
Please avoid direct quotes. Explaining the main ideas in your own words is by far the best way to demonstrate mastery over the material and critical thinking regarding the concepts.
Also, MAKE SURE you are not copy-and-pasting material from the readings into your DB or Quiz responses. Using others' words as your own is plagiarism, and you will (at least) not receive credit for any answer/assignment that includes plagiarism.

- Desmond Patton has been celebrated as an innovative social scientist because he has developed straightforward research questions, and evaluated those questions with insightful and innovative methodology. What do you think of the methods in this week's reading?
- Patton et al. (2019) discusses some implications of their study for violence prevention, how might that information be used by "social workers and community-based orgs" as the authors suggest? Although the authors do not mention it, how might that information be used by police and prosecutors?
- Finally, what do you think of the ethical concerns the authors discuss? Are there any benefits and/or problems you think might be an issue with doing this type of research?

Girl's and women's gang membership does vary from men's. First, we classify them into three broad types: mixed gender gangs, which include men and women, independent female gangs and female gangs that are associated with male gangs also known as "auxiliary" gangs. Mixed gender gangs are the most common. Women do not take part in more masculine roles like negotiating and organizing. Most of the time, they are excluded from male activities and are more seen as sexual objects.
Some ways that they are similar are that they are raised in impoverished homes. They do not have many advantages and are lack parental figures in their life. Sometimes they do take roles in the gang though. Something similar they share is in drug supply. Some females occupied low-level roles in the chain. These include dealing on the street, renting homes for storing drugs, and being a runner.
Well with gender roles, most of the time women in gangs are mostly there for sexual pleasure. They do not take part in any of the crimes or delinquencies that the male gang members commit. Sometimes they are not even considered "real" gang members. Their role in the gang is downplayed most of the time which leads them to be there for only one purpose: sex. As sad as it is, it is all the members see them for. I feel that sometimes after they come back (male gang members) from a stressful situation, they would want to "destress". I feel that having women already in the gang readily available for them makes it easier for them to commit the action.
