Explanation:
La sugerencia de Yinnyann, "pandilla", es buena si te refieres a un grupo de adolescentes que son a lo sumo pequeños delincuentes. Pero si el grado de violencia es alto posiblemente sea más adecuado "banda". Y, dependiendo del lugar cuyas pandillas describa el texto, tal vez corresponda "mara".
¡Espero que te sirva!
