TUTI NANGS a.k.a. THE TOOTS
Ethnicity:
Mixed race all girl street gang
Affiliated with:
FAM
Responsible for:
Selling drugs in nightclubs
Shoplifting
Theft
Robbery
Current strength:
Approximately 25 hard core members and perhaps 15 to 20 "fluid" members
Current evidence on girls and gangs in the UK is considerably hampered by a set of methodological issues. The first of these stems from the difficulties associated with defining what constitutes a gang or being a gang member. A second set of issues arise from the fact that much of the qualitative research in this area is conducted by male adult researchers utilizing male gang members and adult practitioners as their source of information about females. The findings of such studies are challenged by research with girls and young women, which demonstrates that group involvement can be both rewarding and destructive for girls.
