In the article "Youth Gangs: An Overview", Huff defines youth gangs as "a self-formed association of peers, bound together by mutual interests, with identifiable leadership and internal organization, who act collectively or as individuals to achieve specific purposes, including the conduct of illegal activity and control of a particular territory, facility, or enterprise." While violence may be a common characteristic among youth gangs, it is not a necessary element in Huff's definition.
