Abstrak	Mounting evidence suggests that members of cnminal street gangs use internet communications technology to advertise their accomplishments, promote a counternormative lifestyle, and continue illicit operations. Noting that not all content is equal in its ability to infuence target audiences, this study investigates the message sensation value (MSV) of matenal posted by street gangs with civil gang injunctions. Gangs facing increased social censure and behavioral restrictions associated with the imposition of CGIs may be more inclined to post YouTube videos with high MSV to promote gang lifestyles and brand, as their visibility in the neighborhood may be diminished by law enforcement action. The results show that (1) there is a moderate association between indices measuríng MSV and content (lifestyle and branding); (2) gangs that continue to use physical violence to maintain social dominance are observed to have lower scores on MSV, lifestyle and branding metrícs; and, (3) videos flmed in public settings and those produced by gangs that have been under injunction for a longer períod are likely to have stronger branding messages, while videos flmed in a safe zone are expected to have lower lifestyle messages. We fnd no signifcant difference between video quality between the Bloods and the Críps.
