Individuals who are not officially gang members but participate in some gang activities are known as what?

Prospects
Gonnabe
Associates
Core members

The correct answer is: Associates

The term "associates" refers to individuals who engage in activities related to a gang without being formal or official members. These individuals may have connections to the gang, whether through friendships or shared activities, but do not meet the criteria for full membership. This distinction is important because associates may still partake in criminal actions or gang-related events, contributing to the gang culture without being recognized as full-fledged members. In contrast, "prospects" typically refer to individuals who are in the process of being considered for full membership and are often undergoing a period of testing or initiation. "Gonnabe" is not a universally accepted term and can be ambiguous, often referring to individuals who aspire to join but lack the commitment or status within the gang. "Core members" are those who hold established positions in the gang and typically participate fully in its activities. Understanding these distinctions clarifies the role and status of different individuals within gang dynamics.
