本研究目的是探討一位幫派少年在其生命歷程中所經歷的逆境經驗和加入幫派的過程，瞭解兒童逆境經驗對青少年的影響和幫派對其生命歷程的影響。透過一個實際幫派少年的成長過程中的心歷路程轉變及親身經歷，讓大眾去反思兒童逆境對於一個孩子的成長過程中，帶來哪些影響與轉折，以致少年走向幫派生活。
根據過去的研究顯示，兒童時期的逆境經驗與青少年犯罪之間存在著關聯性。逆境經驗方面如父母離異、家庭暴力、家庭成員疾病、貧困、缺乏家庭關愛等常見的兒童逆境經驗，這些經驗可能會影響青少年的自我價值感、情緒調節能力、人際互動技巧等方面的發展，進而導致心理健康問題和行為問題。特別是對於青少年，缺乏家庭關愛和支持的情況下，他們會尋求其他形式的依附和認同，而加入幫派是其中一個可能的選擇。

The purpose of this study is to explore the adversity experiences and the process of joining a gang experienced by a juvenile gang member throughout his life course. The study aims to understand the impact of childhood adversity on adolescent development and how gang involvement influences an individual’s life trajectory. By examining the psychological journey and personal experiences of an actual gang member during his growth, the study seeks to encourage public reflection on how childhood adversity can affect and alter a child's developmental path, ultimately leading them to a life in gangs.

Previous research has shown a correlation between childhood adversity and juvenile delinquency. Adversities such as parental divorce, domestic violence, family illness, poverty, and lack of family affection are common childhood experiences that can impact a teenager’s self-esteem, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. These experiences can lead to mental health issues and behavioral problems. In particular, adolescents who lack family care and support may seek other forms of attachment and recognition, with joining a gang being one possible choice.
