Wonder how it compares to this, since it's essentially the same concept:

The Blackstone Rangers by Richard T Sale

I do like aspects of it, especially the use of ethnography and other qualitative methods (I'm not a stat guy).

Hey Professor,

I am statistically-inclined, so give me a holler if need I can be of assistance. I'm always down to pick up a few extra lines on my curriculum vita by doing statistics and writing result sections. Give me a shout on the PMs if this is something that interests you. Happy tenure-track grindin'!!! And thanks, I will check out Venkatesh's first book about the Chicago gangs.

Peace,

I'm thinking collabo. Your stats, my q.d. = bumrush the journal.
Yo, let's do this mane!!! I'm versatile, I'm proficient with structural equation modeling, path analyses, multilevel modeling, hierarchical multiple regression, etc. I got skills, homie. Coming from a psych doctoral program, there was a strong emphasis on psychometrics. I know theory too, even some sociological literature, so I'm down.

Peace,
