In addition to the electronic and manual searches for relevant literature, we also, as part of the search process, contacted prominent international gang researchers to inquire and obtain as much as possible of the existing research on the subject. The following presents the literature recommended by the experts contacted. The presentation is indicated ac-cording to the expert recommending it, along with a letter to indicate whether the rec-ommendation is a book (A), a journal article (B), or a review (C). A few recommended articles were from anthologies about gangs and gang research. In these cases, we refer to the actual anthology, as the entire book will provide greater insight into the field.
Please note that recommended literature published before the year 2000 is not included in the actual knowledge gathering, therefore appearing only in the following appendix.
