  abstract: This case study highlights the distractions and dilemmas that were encountered in the attempt to define a gang within Glasgow, a city in the west of Scotland long associated with gang activity. The study focuses on a 5-year grounded theory of how young people grow in and out of gangs in Glasgow. The research followed Charmazs (2006) constructivist grounded theory approach. Mixed methods were applied, employing a survey, focus groups, and in-depth individual interviews. A total of 60 participants took part in a survey; from those participants, 35 engaged in focus groups, and from that cohort, 20 took part in in-depth individual interviews. Findings illustrated that the use of pre-existing definitions and hegemonic concepts obscured representations of Glasgow gangs. As a result, a representative definition was created based on the structural and cultural characteristics of the 21 gangs that took part in the research. This case study presents this journey outlining the constructivist grounded theory approach and some of the distractions and dilemmas that can occur when designing and carrying out fieldwork.
