Understanding the Real Problem: Hispanic Youth Gang Integration

The reason why young people join the group is the problem that plagues policy makers in most countries of the world. This problem is in serious crisis in the United States, especially the minority community. Hispanic Americans are the fastest growing ethnic minorities in the United States and just behind African Americans, the minority with the second largest gang member and the second largest imprisoned group. In this article, we analyzed why we are in danger of young Hispanic youth participating in the gang.

Adolescent gang violence is increasing in the US, and in the Hispanic community, gang members have dramatically increased in recent years. Los Angeles County alone has more than 625 Hispanic gangs and the average gang member is 15 years old.

Is the problem of Youth Gang growing? Since 1980, the American youth group has spread rapidly. During this period, the number of cities reporting young gang issues increased from the estimated 286 jurisdictions and in 1980 they had over 2,000 gangs and about 100,000 members (Miller, 1982 ). In 1995 there were 2,000 jurisdictions with over 23,000 gangs and over 650,000 members (Moore, 1997; National Youth Gang Center, 1997). The problem of Youth Gang in 1995 was reported in all countries and almost all major cities. More than half (58%) of all responding jurisdictions, including 50% of the town with a population of 25,000 people or less, also reported the problem of youth gang. About half of the agencies reporting gang issues believe that the situation is getting worse and believe that only 10% will improve the situation. However, these 1995 survey results can not be inferred about the whole population, as it contained deliberately cities that reported youth group problems in previous studies.
