Prospectus

    Explain (through research) how other studies have connected Family Hierarchy and gang membership and why this is a problem.  In the last few sentences of your Second paragraph briefly explain how the Mac Ballers fit into this problem. 2) Joining a gang is dependent on the hierarchy of the family (Decker, Melde & Pyrooz, 2013). More specifically, members from single families are likely to join gangs since they do not have close family structures (Ayling, 2011).  You are repeating the same thing.  Provide a new concept.
