Re: How do gangs work?
My understanding was that gangs actually generally do have a fairly intricate infrastructure, set up much like a corporation.
On the ground, you have your soldiers (like McDonalds fry cooks), then you have your dealers (cashier), gang leaders (managers), etc., etc. going all the way up from the local to state, regional and even national levels (although most of the high ranking officials are in prisons, they have extensive networks of communication to manage the gangs). I remember an article in Maxim a while back about a Mexican gang (18th Street Gangsters, I think?) and it had a detailed map of how it was all laid out.
