 one sided garbage January 2, 2002

This book only briefly explains the SHARP skins..( anti rascist skinheads) but throughout upholds the image that all skinheads are rascist..making it seem that only a few are non rascist...this is wrong. The original roots of skinhead culture were anti rascist who believed in pride and support for the working class , family , friends , beer , and standing up for whats right. This repeats over and over "skinheads are violent individuals who believe in destroying culture different than their own"..this is just the media's attempt to destroy the skinhead name. Throw it in the fire with all the other hype books.
 Very Good. May 31, 2001

This is an excellent tome for understanding the under workings of Skinhead street gangs. The book delves into Right-wing (Neo-Nazi), Left-Wing (SHARPS, Anarcho-skins) and non-political skins.Written from by a police officer that's been in the middle of it since darn near day one, this book is true to it's description of being a "crash course" into this violent underworld. If you want to be informed, check it out.

... Skinhead Street Gangs is the most complete book on the subject. In his new book, Gangbangers, Christensen writes more on all factions of skinheads. Both books are excellent and I recommend them to cops, parents and others who work or live around gangs.
Outstanding! July 20, 1999

This is a one-of-a-kind book, like no other one on the subject on the market. It's mostly about racist skins but there is plenty about antiracists, too. It's not a historical read on the subject, but rather a book that provides an in-depth insight to how skins think, act and what they want. I recommend it to students writing a paper, police officers and community folks. Those who haven't liked the book are those skins of a particular set who feel they have been slighted.
THIS IS THE MOST ONE SIDED BOOK I HAVE EVER READ July 7, 1999

Not only did Loren Christensen totaly forget the traditional skinhead, or the roots so deeply embeded in the working class. He forgot to mention that these misled youth are not skinheads at all, its just a title that the media and himself like to pin on these kids because they dont know much more than that. I wouldnet have even gave this boo one star but thats as low as i was allowed to go.
