Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Given the current and seemingly enduring nature of retributive justice approaches to juvenile delinquency, alternative interpretations of such behaviors are often discarded or simply given little attention. An unfortunate consequence of defining gangs/gang behavior in terms of criminal behavior is that the criminal justice and legalistic explanations do a poor job of explaining the sub-cultures associated with these collectives. The restorative justice approach, as an alternative to strict retributive/justice paradigms, among other goals, seeks to establish communication between the offender, the community, and the victim. To that end, Thomas Scheff ‘s theoretical perspective of “Emotional Sociology”(1990) may provide a way in which this communication may be enhanced through efforts to interpret and understand the emotional substance associated with gang subculture. This would be accomplished primarily by contributing to the discussion of these behaviors (and consequent culture) with an analysis of the emotions associated with these behavior sets. A preliminary analysis of material and nonmaterial culture associated with gangs (provided through interaction with adjudicated gang members) has contributed to an over-arching theoretical model which provides definitive categories that enhance the discussion and understanding of gangs beyond the traditional criminal justice model. This paper clarifies the aforementioned theoretical paradigm, and by doing so offers emergent classification schemes/categories which may be utilized to interpret that which has been seen as by-products of illegal behavior in ways relevant to the fields of sociology, anthropology, and psychology alike.
