Unfortunately, innocent people are often subjected to gang violence by the mere presence of graffiti in their neighborhood. Victims of white supremacist or hate graffiti often suffer from fear and intimidation when they are singled out by the skinhead or other white-supremacist gangs. Prevention is the key to controlling gang activity. Everyone must work toward solutions to the gang problem. The first step in prevention is to learn about gangs, gang members and their activities.
Citizens armed with basic knowledge are better able to avoid becoming victims of gang violence.
Establish Neighborhood Watch. Its crime prevention or gang specialists can help your neighborhood plan ways to fight gang activity. They can help you organize a Neighborhood Watch program in your community. The gangs' power grows through their use of fear and violence to intimidate rivals and citizens alike. This tactic can be countered by citizen action groups such as Neighborhood Watch.
