Gang/Clica


Explanation:
Gang:

Clica:
http://www.iss.nl/devissues/articles/questioning_the_stage_g...

Personally, I think that the term "clica" is better left unchanged, since it denotes its a gang composed of Latin-American members.

Notes to answerer
Asker: gracias. I checked with a non spanish speaker and he said better to change it since he would have no clue as to what clica meant.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Carol Gullidge: you could leave it unchanged here, since pandilleros already explains that they are gang members.
