Why are young adults in cities involved with gangs? Countless innocent people in the U.S. die from youth violence unintentionally; either being an innocent bystander caught in the recklessness of activities done from gang violence or dying a tragic death of being wrongfully victimized. Children continue to suffered theses effects of crime caused by the growth of urban gangs as countless neighborhoods in urban cities become much more unsafe for children to grow and live flourishing lives, only to have fallen to the gangs in their society. In the past, most of America never knew the realistic danger of a terrorized neighborhood caused by violent acts from gangs. Today, nearly half of America is now witnessing the danger and street violence caused by gangs, either by watching their local news, just to see how close the violence is to them, only to learn this violence is happening in their own city. Or by witnessing in first hand, by seeing the sings of gang graffiti, witnessing the sounds of shootings, or witnessing other acts of violence done around them. More and more, youth violence is spreading to cities were gangs aren't even supposed to be, as young teenagers want to be more rebellious.
             Today just about everyone has an idea of what gangs are, some people think their just a group of friends who started their own cool clique, others know it as violent groups of people running the streets doing illegal activities. Gangs basically feel like they can do what they want and rebel against what is right. They range from all levels of illegal activities, from sale and distribute whatever might be highly illegal to gain capital, to banging (representing) territories onto other gangs from different hoods (neighborhoods) and status for reputation on the streets. Gangs pretty much get in to all sorts of trouble, or cause trouble to get things their way. There way of thinking is troubling to all advocates who want to put a stop...
