In this episode, Bardya Partovi Nia and Leo Huang discuss the issue of youth, gangs, and recruitment with Professor Indira-Natasha Prahst from the department of Anthropology and Sociology at Langara College. Professor Prahst led a research project called the Youth Alienation Study, which examined the types of alienation youth experience and how that can relate to their vulnerability in joining gangs and committing drug-related crimes. We dig into this study and so much more.
