Meaning
The quote says that gang culture can seem to provide order and consistency for some young people, even though that is presented as a tragic situation. It suggests that when other parts of life feel unstable, gangs may fill that gap. The point is that the appeal of gang culture can come from the need for security rather than from approval of it.
