Gang/Clica

Personally, I think that the term "clica" is better left unchanged, since it denotes its a gang composed of Latin-American members.
Note from 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 comment(s):

agree Carol Gullidge : you could leave it unchanged here, since pandilleros already explains that they are gang members.
