Real-World Application: Youth Gangs
Gangs have been around for hundreds of years. Pirates operated as gangs. In the 19th century, gangs of immigrants- Irish, Italian, Polish-protected their neighborhoods in cities such as New York. Youth gangs began in Los Angeles (L.A.) in 1969 with the formation of a black street gang called the "Cribs," a term that referred to their youthfulness. The initial intent of this gang was to continue the revolutionary ideology of the 1960s and act as community leaders and protectors of their local neighborhoods, but the revolutionary rhetoric did not last. The Cribs began to commit robberies and assaults. They were renamed the "Crips" after they were described by the victims of one assault as young cripples carrying canes. Crip gangs soon multiplied in L.A., and other gangs formed. Today the Crips and their most notorious rivals, the Bloods, have franchise gangs operating in cities across the country. It is estimated that the United States has about 25,000 youth gangs involving over 1,100,000 members. Eighty-six percent of cities with over 10,000 residents report gang activity so it is clearly a national problem in the United States (Statistic Brain Research Institute, 2017). Need Assignment Help?
