What term refers to individuals who aspire to become gang members but have not yet been accepted?

Prospects
Associates
Gonnabe
Members

The correct answer is: Gonnabe

The term that accurately describes individuals who aspire to become gang members but have not yet been accepted is commonly referred to as "prospects." Prospects are individuals who are considering or hoping to join a gang and may participate in some activities, but they have not yet received full membership status. This stage often involves a period of proving themselves to current gang members. The term "gonnabe" is not widely recognized in formal gang culture terminology and might imply a more casual or less serious intention compared to the defined role of a prospect. In contrast, "associates" typically refers to individuals who have connections to a gang without being formal members, while "members" denotes those who have already completed the initiation process and are fully integrated into the gang. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for grasping the dynamics of gang hierarchies and relationships.
