Gang issues 2-27-12

Dear CNN, The social issue that I have chosen is gangs. A lot of young people in particular are affected by the culture of violence. They may respond by putting themselves into gangs. These gangs are trying to show off how bad they are an let people. But they also instill a desire to control certain areas and situations, establishing their own territory and fighting against opposing gangs. Street fights, rape and murder can be part of gang violence. The local community in which the gangs are situated can become a dangerous area for all due to shooting while young kids are around stabbings that young kids an older people are afraid of. They see it on the news an then they could become afraid of their own place at home. You can’t have these gangs on the corner of the streets in these bigger city’s where the kids that are like 5-10 years old are walking home. I’m sure that is really scary to those students! Gang issues are priority concerns for much urban, suburban, and rural school, law enforcement, and other youth-service professionals. They need to stop the young youth gangs and they won’t have that problem later in live. A few ways you can tell wither it’s a gang or a club I how they dress, act, talk just everything that you would ask or talk about from meeting new people is how you can tell they are a gang. They also get tattoos of a same design, words or anything that they can identify it. The gangs in the new ages today, their isn’t many around. But back in the older days when the law an things of that nature wasn’t that bad an you could get a lot of trouble. Back in those days that’s when the big biker gangs where around an they didn’t care what they did and who they did it with. These are the top five biker gangs in America.1.)Hells Angles2.) Mongols3.) Pagans4.) Outlaws5.) Sons of Silence. If they start with the younger students they can put a stop to it before they get to old an do it anyhow! Jordan Holley 3rd&4th 9-27-12
