Gang injunction

1. Imagine yourself as a youth living in a neighborhood contested by two rival street gangs. Would you join one of the gangs? Why or why not? • Personally, I could never imagine myself being a part of a gang. However, if I grew up in a different area where gangs heavily influence the area, then maybe I would be dragged into one. Although, personally I do not stand for anything that gangs do. I do not support violence. However, I do see the importance of having strong social connections and being…

as their self-defense or first response. Gangs often pressure their members to commit murders as part of their gang roles; this also allows them to feel like they are part of the gang and not as weak. Many children and adolescents feel a sense of entitlement to undeserved respect. When this is not received they act in violence. These gangs are not always organized or sophisticated nor do they always have a criminal purpose. Even a loosely formed gang may act out in extreme behaviors which…

There is a gang named the Black Ants they terrorized the northern part of the castle and have been a problem for years. I decided to take this in to my own hands and take their leader down. I scoped out them out and planned for weeks before executing my big plan. The second week of winter I started my big plan. It wasn’t much of a challenge to get through the area as I wasn’t known for anything just a peasant. Once I was at the manor where the Gang leader lived I asked to speak…

Gangs: Attractors of Juvenile Delinquency or the Cause for it? “Since the mid-20th century, gang violence in this country has become widespread” with 8% of youth being involved in them between the ages of 12 and 17 (Howell, 2010 p. 2). A question that has risen is if gangs attract delinquents or if they make juveniles delinquent. The main concern is if these youths had previous delinquency issues, or if they joined for friendship and a sense of community that turned violent. I believe it…

Eastwood and Harlem, both small neighborhoods in America, are weighed down by the world’s view of them; poor, predominantly black, violent and in need of “help” (Ralph 9). In Renegade Dreams, Ralph tells the story of activists, gang leaders, patients and teenagers while constantly refusing to portray them as victims. He gives us a glimpse into Eastwood, “a community that was battered but far from beaten.” Caught in the bonds of racism and poverty, the Fontenelles appeared Parks’ article A Harlem…

America has declared war, a war against illegal drugs and illicit use of legal drugs. For almost a century, this battle has been fought and little to no progress has been shown. The war on drugs sets the stage to remove drug abusers from society, prevent illegal drug trades, and reduce the effect of drugs on society. The allure of a state of ecstasy draws individuals to experiment with illegal drugs. This, sometimes social behavior, almost always becomes an addiction, which alters the life of…

programs that they can join. I know this because the refugees don 't feel like they fit in here and can get into trouble when they don 't have something to do in our society. Refugees that don 't have things to do in our society can cause trouble, join gangs and become criminals. If we don 't help them out with refugee programs and let them do these things, they will corrupt our society and split our towns in half. These programs can be a variety of things. Sports, classes, video…

A Chance at Happiness: People in Texas know how to complain about immigrants crossing the Texas-Mexican border, but what they don 't understand is they 're not crossing to steal our jobs - they are crossing to create a better life for their children. The question still stands today: Should we open the borders and allow free migration? Saying both yes and no have their benefits, but it should ultimately be up to the citizens of the state ( Texas ) since they’re the one’s who it will affect…

but that isn’t enough of a barrier to protect the Tri-Cities from gang activity. Just like any living creature, gang members can move about too. Additionally, this leads to the reality that gang members are on the loose, just like stray dogs. “[Known about there are] 20 gangs in Benton county, and 20 in Franklin County. Yakima has 40 gangs itself. It is also estimated that about a third of inmates in the Bent County Jail are gang members. That’s compared to more than half of the inmates in…

also to establish their reputation as a gang to be feared. Many youths look at drinking, vandalism, and drug use as a form of having fun. Their idea of amusement is partying, getting high, bullying and robbing people. Drive- bye shooting is the most numerous violent crime committed by gangs. Members will hunt for homes, vehicles, of hang- outs of rival gangs and well drive by and shoot at the members of the rival gang. Homicides among Latino gangs are frequently near- ritual exhibitions…
