4.9/5 (13218 ratings)

Description:Gang girls are becoming girl gangs, and the viciousness of girls in gangs often makes the boys' old style rumble a Sunday School picnic by comparison. Into lives starved for the necessities and barren of luxury, these girls have injected a substitute - excitement.In that area of upper Manhattan known as the "barrio" it is a quiet night. The stillness hides a layer of tension, too nebulous to name, too real to ignore. It is warm and balmy, the kind of night that spills it's pent up people into the streets to sit and ponder, or seek new sensations.A few of the "barrio's" people gather in a candy store. They are the Dagger Debs: Carla, scarred by knife wouds, who clawed her way to leadership...Rena, a vivacious, two-fisted wildcat who hungered for love and fed on excitement...Maria, the mugger, concious of what her lovely body can buy her...Amazon, the fighter, a physical threat to both boys and girls...Truelove, pretty but violent...Poodie, gentle on the outside, seething on the inside. These are some of the girls whom Karen, the street worker, comes to know. How she lived, worked, and finally came to grips with the most serious of all gang problems - a killing, is told here in this amazing story of Rebels In the Streets.Here is a strange and savage story of the Dagger Debs, a girl gang. Girls between childhood misbehavior and adult crime. Girls who get drunk on cheap wine and high on marijuana. Girls who are profane, sexually promiscuous, agressive and anti-social. Here is their gripping, shocking story. A piercing social document, it will hold you in profound fascination and utter disbelief.Written by the author of award-winnig "I Lived with a Teen Gang," a series which appeared in the New York Daily News, Rebels In TThe Streets is a compelling narrative, a truthful, moving portrait of the violence that courses through a great city, of those who try and stop it, and of the lives it touches and tears.
