Diane Sawyer on Girls Gangs from 1990
A sensationalistic and outdated news report from Diane Sawyer on girl gangs blatantly disregards the socioeconomic, racial, and gender complexities that influenced girls’ involvement in gangs during the 1990s. The report alarmingly suggests that if these women continue to defy traditional gender roles, the children they raise—and society at large—will face a future of violence. Classic fear mongering, anyone?
