Abstract
Recenze představuje knihu Davida Skarbeka - The Social Order of the Underworld – How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System. Ve společnosti často panuje názor, že vězeňské gangy, které majoritní společnost zná především z nadnesené reality amerických filmů, jsou neorganizované jednotky, které jsou založeny na rasovém či násilném podtextu. David Skarbek ve své knize ukázal, že vězeňské gangy vznikají zpravidla na úplně jiné podstatě, tedy na podstatě ochrany určitých hodnot.
The review presents the book by David Skarbek - The Social Order of the Underworld - How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System. In a society there is often a perception that prison gangs that majority society knows mainly from exaggerated reality American films are disorganized units, which are based on racial or violent overtones. David Skarbek in his book revealed that prison gangs are formed usually on a completely different principle, namely the principle of protection of certain values.
