    1. Sagging: Fashion Trend Or Criminal Behavior? By Alan Resendiz

    2. Introduction It’s a typical sight on the streets and schools of east Oakland: Young males wearing pants below the waist so that everybody can see their underwear. The fashion, which young males, not only in Oakland, but all the U. S., have adopted, is called sagging.

    3. What is sagging? According to Margena A. Christian, sagging is “wearing pants below the waist so everybody can see the underwear” (Koppel).

    4. Is sagging just for males? Any male can sag, but it appears to be most popular among young men of color. Also, sagging does not appear to take place among females. It is a male-only trend.
