On this home page, I'll introduce my site give you a broader understanding of what gangs are doing to society
in general
“What set do you bang?” “What that red be like?” “What that blue
be like?” These are all questions being uttered more and more in today’s school system and society. Gang related
students have plagued our living quarters and learning environments for decades. In the past few years their numbers have
inflated tremendously. They have become a force to be reckoned with and based on copious research; statistics from the National
Alliance of Gang Investigators Association show that they are still growing. Journalist Gary Burnett states, “one-half
to two-thirds of all gang members stay with the gang for a year or less (Burnett). The numbers of gang related students have
risen dramatically. They have evolved from small groups of friends into an entourage of vicious teens who are willing to do
whatever it takes to earn respect. Either way they are a threat to society as a whole and need to be researched and stopped
immediately.
