America's Reluctance to Deal With Gangs and Gang Crime

The United States faces a very complicated problem that could damage the structure of its own urban society. This problem has been developed over the years and integrated into the core of American society until it has become the standard of living quality for millions of people. The easiest form of the problem is crime, but this is obviously a problem that needs to be improved in almost every country in the world, so this article is meticulously committed to a crime that became synonymous with modern city America - gang crime Pay attention to.

Street gang is a new problem in US organized crime. Gang originally caused only insignificant annoyance to society, but they are a huge criminal gang in the United States. They describe most of the causes of violence and drug trafficking in the United States (narcotics and gangs) throughout the state. They will be out of hand if they can not look after them at once. Due to increased poverty and pressure from colleagues, the street gang of the United States is getting bigger and bigger and becoming increasingly violent by gang war and drug trafficking.

Due to the economic downturn in the United States, the scale of the street gang is expanding. There are about 21,500 gangs in the United States and more than 731,000 active gang members ("organizational gangs"). Due to poor economic conditions, many people are unemployed and more Americans are driven into poverty. If you can not make enough money with your actual job, you may be a crime in the face of lack of money. This explains to some extent why the gang exists in poor urban areas. Not everyone who decides to participate in the gang is poor, but not all gang members are poor (Gardner 51). Poverty is attracting most young people in the United States, yet there are still many poor youths not belonging to the group. Gang brothers and sisters have a strong influence on their brothers and sisters and young people becoming members of the street gang and participating. Gang also provides a way to earn money, sometimes there are more. Poverty is one of the main reasons for young people and young people to join the street gang.

The term gang often causes violence, drug use and trading, and images of crime. However, the young gang has other influences. Gang can provide sense of belonging to youth and identity, social support, and sense of solidarity. The gang young people often compare gangs with their families, but in a sense gangs are like families. In some areas, many families belong to the same gang. These multigenerational gangs have been developed in various environments, but are most common in Hispanics. Sanchez-Jankowski (1991) reported that many gang members told him that there is a long history of gang involvement of his brothers, and a considerable number of cases, family including father and grandfather. Of the Los Angeles fathers interviewed, 32% said they were members of the same gang as their children belonged to, and 11% said that the four families became members of the same gang.
