If you're interested in the topic, read Sudhir Venkatesh's books, like his most recent _Gang_Leader_for_a_Day_.
It's about his experience of spending 8 years with impoverished residents of a Chicago project community, including gang members, drug users, and prostitutes, as part of his graduate studies in sociology.
