Analyzing the Causes of Youth Gang Initiation

There are many theories and data trying to explain youth gangs in the context of abnormal behavior and its lack of control or control. Nonetheless, information sources based on actual data are suitable for proving this unhealthy lifestyle. In this article, we mainly explain the actual data by combining Merton's strain theory and explain the motivation to participate in the gang. The results of the survey show that there is a relationship between the sense of belonging before and the economic pressure before living in an abnormal environment. This is the fundamental cause of the reason why young people join the group.

Gang is a serious problem, but it does not cause a panic. The youth group of the United States first appeared around 1783. Youth gang activities in the United States have four major peaks in the second half of the 19th century, the 1920s, the 1960s, and the 1990s. Only in the 1990s, Congress decided that the gang problem had to be solved by the violation of Congress's traditional criminal justice function. According to state law and federal law, everything the gangs do is illegal, such as selling regulated substances, killing hostile gang members, stealing property and so on. However, since enactment of law is often confused with actual behavior, even if the criminal law already covers all the things that the gangs have done, the enactment of "anti-aid" law has a strong political appeal maybe. Congress is trying to create a so-called "secondary law" in the absence of an addable substance law (eg, because murder or drug trafficking is illegal).

In the United States, there is no generally accepted definition of "gang". Gangs, youth gangs, street gangs are widely used terms and are used interchangeably in mainstream reports. Mentioning gang usually means youth gang. In some cases, the youth group is different from other types of groups; the way to define young people may also be different. The members collectively identify themselves by adopting the group identity commonly used to create fear and intimidation atmosphere in the following ways: Generic name, slogan, identification, symbol, tattoo or other physical mark, clothing hairstyle, gesture or graffiti style or color.
