Please look at Joan Moores' book "Homeboys" it has longitudinal data that can be very helpful. Also look at "Going Down to the Barrio" by Joan W Moore. Still available online from Amazon.com. The editorial review from that site says it all:\n\nEditorial Reviews\n\nFrom Library Journal\nThis sequel to Homeboys: Gangs, Drugs, and Prisons in the Barrios of Los Angeles (Temple Univ. Pr., 1978) is based on continuing research begun by Moore and Carlos Garcia. It traces the 45 years of two Chicano youth gangs in Los Angeles. Through analysis of economic trends and hundreds of trenchant interviews, she has unearthed evidence that the stereotypes of Hispanic youth gangs promoted by the media are mistaken and alarmist. Hers is one of the few studies to cover girl gangs in depth. She offers copious statistics to show that what changed these gangs from primarily ethnic social groups to many that deal in drugs and crime was the increased unemployability of young barrio men. Index, bibliography, notes, charts, methods, and somewhat dry text indicate that this is aimed at the scholarly and professional community.\n- Anne Osborn, Youth Training Sch., Ontario, Cal.\nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. \n\nBook Description\nIn this illuminating look at two Chicano gangs in East Los Angeles, Joan W. Moore examines the changes and continuities among three generations of barrio gangs. As a sequel to the author's award-winning study, Homeboys (Temple, 1979), this book returns to the same neighborhoods to chart the development of gang behavior, especially in terms of violence and drug use, and to compare experiences of male and female gang members. \nIn a remarkable research collaborative effort, Moore and gang members worked together to develop an understanding of both male and female gangs and an internal vision of gang members' lives. By using excerpts from individual interviews, the author depicts more about the gangs than simply their life together as a unit; she gives them a voice. Gang members discuss their personal reaction to violence, drug using and selling, family relations and intra-gang dating; they share intimacies that reveal varying levels of loyalty to and dependency on their affiliations, which often become a family substitute. \n\nAfter maintaining neighborhood ties for 17 years, Moore's research group has established a relationship with these communities that gives her a rare perspective. This is a fascinating and informative book for anyone interested in sociology, criminology, youth behavior and deviance, and ethnic studies. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. \n\nI hope this helps. We have to keep in mind that Latinos in the US are memorialize in history and white male America as yet another blockage removed in the quest to dominate North America. A conquered people thrown out of their own land by europeans. They are, for that reason, marginalize and dehistorized in mainstream perception and media. Latinos and Latinas are a vital and significant force in the US in spite of the american desires to the contrary.

I definitely think you are right on track.  Latinos are definitely defiant.  Streets in the United States are becoming more and more filled with garbage because of the growing Latin community.  I am originally from El Salvador, but my wife and I share your views.  We are not getting enough respect from the Americans because we are NOT AT ALL respecting American Laws.  And it has to do a lot with education.  Maybe the MASSES of latinos living in the United States are mostly uneducated classes looking to enhance their income and actually fleeing their countries.  That makes for a big chunk of people looking very bad in the eyes of the public.

Hey Mario E.,\n\n This is a hard one you're asking here. Can you imagine all the effort involved in gathering those data?\n You may want to limit your scope to a group of institutions in a town.\n You may want to start by contacting your local college and their foreign languages departments.

Years ago, in my early 20's, I lived in Los Angeles. At one point I had to go to UCLA Medical Center for cancer treatment. The waiting room was filled to overflowing with hispanic women and their children. I had to fill in some forms here and there, and the nurses always had a hard time finding them in English! Also, I had to pay $40 per visit, while most of the hispanics were seen for free.
