Answer to Question 1

 Relatively high-paid, low skilled factory jobs that would entice older gang members to leave the gang have been lost to overseas competition; a transformed U.S. economy
now prioritizes information and services over heavy industry.
 This shift in emphasis undermines labor unions that might have attracted former gang boys.
 Equally damaging has been the embrace of social policies that stress security and the needs of the wealthy while weakening the economic safety net for the poor (e.g., reducing welfare eligibility).
 William Julius Wilson found that the inability of inner-city males to obtain adequate jobs means that they cannot afford to marry and raise families.
 Criminal records acquired at an early age quickly lock these youths out of the job market so that remaining in a gang becomes an economic necessity.
 In the wake of reduced opportunity for unskilled labor, gangs have become an important ghetto employer that offers low-level drug-dealing opportunities that are certainly not available in the nongang world.
