Street gangs captivate media attention. How can we distiguish such gangs from other types of youth formations? The present article proposes to examine the marginal status of certain groups of youth, focusing on the relation to violence in the practical identities of these youth. The ambiguity surrounding notions of "youth" and "young person" underlines the relative and liminal — indeed the margina — character of these social categories. On the one hand, the youth etiquette that characterizes them holds less and less to the reality of these groups as their leaders age. On the other hand, the groups are better and better organized for crime, as the improvised element of their criminality has always been one of their distinctive traits. It is also important to distinguish the levels of membership in such groups, when it becomes a question of guiding our interventions.
