Everyone wants a gang-free community, except gang members of course.
Gangs are often violent and intimidating.
The family stands to lose the most from gangs. The well-being or even the life of a loved one can be lost to gang activity. A gang is an organized group with a recognized leader whose activities are either criminal or, at the very least, threatening to the community. Unity, identity, loyalty and reward are normal characteristics that are admired, but when associated with gangs they become distorted. They are traits each gang shares in order to survive.
