Which gang-associated term refers to members who are actively participating but not yet full members?

  1. Prospects

  2. Associates

  3. Gonnabe

  4. Core members

The correct answer is: Associates

The correct term for members who are actively participating in a gang but have not yet attained full membership is "prospects." This term specifically refers to individuals who are in a probationary or evaluative phase, demonstrating their commitment and loyalty to the gang before being granted full membership status. While "associates" can refer to individuals who have ties to a gang but do not necessarily engage in the same level of activity or commitment as full members, they may not be directly involved in the gang's inner workings or initiation processes. "Gonnabe" typically describes someone who aspires to join a gang but does not actively participate in its activities, making it less applicable to someone on the path to full membership. "Core members" refers to those who have fully committed to the gang and are integral to its operations, distinguishing them from prospects who are still in the process of proving themselves.
