Abstract

A study was made of variables related to behavioral modeling received during childhood by a group of 80 gang members in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico, all them active members of 30 gangs. The procedure followed was based on the Social Learning theories of Bandura (1982) and Akers (2006). Research data used in this work were collected through a field survey. The aim of the work was to identify the behavioral models received in early stages of development (early and middle childhood) by young people who are currently involved in a gang. The models explored were: types of aggressive behavior —including aggressions received, testimony of aggression between parents and aggression toward animals—, criminal behavior and overcrowding.
