According to Sanders (1994), the presence and availability of weapons and the use of vehicles in drive-by shootings has contributed to an increase in gang violence. These violent incidents are sometimes planned, but spur of the moment decisions are common (Hughes and Short, 2005). The older age of male gang members has also contributed to gang violence, although the rise in overall juvenile and female violence in recent years has also had an effect (Spergel, 1995). Fagan (1996), Hagedorn (1998), Moore (1991) and Short (1996) also argued that various factors - the spread of gang culture, the masculinity concept, social and economic dislocation, and the perception of desire to outdo their predecessors– are all responsible for the increase in gang violence.

Finally, the spread of gang culture and public moral panic is engendered by the mass media. Sullivan (2000) links the concept of public moral panic to the gang proliferation phenomenon. His logic begins with the general decline in crime, particularly serious crime, over the last few years.
