Gang violence in America

Gang violence is a deep-rooted problem in America. It affects mainly low-income kids in poor neighborhoods.

All over America kids are being recruited into gangs every day. Very often, joining a gang is an instant death sentence.

Many kids see older kids in gangs and think it’s cool or normal to be in one and are quickly sucked into the gang lifestyle. Others are drawn to gangs because of the large amount of money that can be made dealing with drugs. After these kids join gangs, there are few ways out.

There is a serious amount of gang-related murders every day in America. Gang violence is a huge social issue because it affects a great number of people. It doesn’t only affect those in gangs, but also their families and innocent bystanders.

There are many different reasons why criminal gangs form. One of these reasons is education. Those with no motivation see no reason to continue their education and drop out of school just to form gangs in an effort to make money. Another reason gangs form is for protection. Kids feel that if they have a group backing them, they are safer. Inevitably rivalries build between these groups and violence occurs.
