Gang
A gang is a group of recurrently associating individuals or close friends or family with identifiable leadership and internal organization, identifying with or claiming control over territory in a community, and engaging either individually or collectively in violent or illegal behavior. Some criminal gang members are ""jumped in"" or have to prove their loyalty by committing acts such as theft or violence. A member of a gang may be called a gangster or a thug.
