8 Ball Chicks
"TJ had never killed anyone before, but then who knew for  sure? Sticking a pump shotgun out of a moving car and blasting into a  crowd--you could never really tell which bodies fell because of you,  whose life you were accountable for..." The cover may be gaudy, but  this account of girl gangbangers is down-to-earth and refreshingly  free of melodrama. In order to write8 Ball Chicksjournalist Gini Sikes spent a year  hanging out with girl gangs in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and San  Antonio. AsSalonwrites, "Sikes's analysis is sparse and not  particularly illuminating ('Without an effective national policy for  youth, kids fell through the cracks in droves'), but she's got a good  ear and the sense to step back and let her subjects seize the  microphone most of the time."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
