Gang Related Shootings

In todays United States we have a huge problem affecting society, gangs and the violence that follows them wherever they go. These days’ gangs aren’t just compiled of grown adults, they often lure in young teens to do dirty work and to add numbers to their turf. Despite laws aimed straight at these gangs they still defy the law and wreak havoc upon the territory that they claim. The members in the gang have a gang first mentality and will do everything possible to provide for and protect their fellow members. They will very rarely snitch on their own to help put a stop to some of the meaningless crimes committed by these savages.

In low income areas and large cities, gang violence is a major problem. Gang violence in Chicago is reaching alarming proportions. Day by day they are increasing rapidly. None of the solutions work effectively to eliminate gangs. However police departments and other government officials are trying their best to provide the same security as other areas in chicago. Thousands of innocent people are dying each year from these ill mannered thugs. In today’s societies gang activity is everywhere, whether it includes violence, drugs, death or any illegal activity. There are several aspects which are causing these violent activities. In past years the police department and the mayor designed different strategies to stop this violence. From my perspective better education and scholarships are the only way to reduce gangs and other illegal activities.

My topic is K-12 school shootings. We all have someone close to us who is in elementary, middle or high school that we care about. It could be a little sister, a nephew, a cousin, even a neighbor. We don’t really think of them not coming home. When they do, great, we don’t even give it a second thought. It’s when they don’t that we start to realise that school isn’t necessarily a safe zone.

            Youth violence is a problem among young teens because it causes a division, which unfortunately result into gangs. Moreover in the past, gang violence results into youth crimes such as robbery, and drug sales. In this new generation, the youth resort in selling marijuana and heroin, even more than crack cocaine now, this means where the drugs are is where the gangs are, also the weapons to protect to their territory. While writing his article Michael Blanding quotes a young man of 16 years of old named Sharodeny Finch, who said, “People get tired of wearing the same damn jeans”. This young man was referring to the fact that he gets tired of the gangs, and tries to do the right thing by finding an actual job. But when he got turned down his response was, “ You try to do the right thing, find a job to earn money, and you can't. You got a block right here, you know what I'm saying?” Basically Finch is explaining that, sometimes young people will try to escape the gang life, but when they try and do not get what they intended for, they go back to the gangs. This overall shows in order for the youth not to resort back to the gangs, they have to be dealt with in the proper format. Gang violence does not have broaders, however in the urban areas of Boston it tends to receive the most attention. This problem causes emotional stress, group tensions in communities, and many other troubles. This issue tends to thrive in communities that already have drug addictions, and low property rates.Moreover, gang violence influences these other issues to worsen over time. Therefore, youth violence should be a priority to resolve for it causes and affects many other issues in Boston.

With the leading number of gangs in the country, Los Angeles is thought of as the gang capital of the world. Employing gang suppression strategies that take distinct forms, from anti-gang injunctions to high rate of incarcerations, the City of Angels has failed to live up to its angelic name. Known instead for its demonic gang activity and police suppression efforts, Los Angeles has taken over media headlines as one of the most dangerous places to subsist. Representing a worrisome issue for residents, visitors, city government officials, as well as urban planners, gang violence has rapidly become a threat to public safety. Although current-day gang culture has eased off on the violence, it continues to be one of the greatest planning challenges

Hi my name Daja Pulphus and I attend Bronzeville Scholastic Institute located on the southside of Chicago. There are a variety of problems in my neighborhood but the biggest problem is the gang violence. I would solve gang violence by first encouraging parents to teach their children that joining a gang can ruin lives; lead to criminal records; and, ultimately, to prison. Also, encourage schools to actively participate in identifying gang members, removing graffiti, resolving potential conflicts among gang members, and providing parents with information on gangs. If I were to invite any five people –past, present, or future–to dinner, I would invite the famous Martin Luther King because he advocated for African-Americans, women and veterans

must follow the guidelines of the use-of-force continuum including all aspects of civilian apprehension rules. It should mandate that all officers attend mandatory training before placement within multicultural communities; wear a body camera when in the field; report excessive force incidents using the correct documentation; complete police reports immediately; and assure that follow-up investigations will be handled internal/external resulting in criminal penalties for officer’s who ignore these rules.

ethnic groups occurred in every ‘transitional’ neighborhood, the ‘succession’ of African Americans out of their areas of ‘first settlement’ was systematically blocked” (Hagedorn 197). By doing the aforementioned the white gang’s behaviors have contributed to the racial segregation of Chicago and the explosive gang related crime in the present day south side of Chicago.

Imagine more school shootings because someone had access to automatic weapons and big mags. With gun control there would be less shootings in general, due to the inaccessibility to automatic weapons.

[ACT: sounds of gunshots] First a warning, then a deadly shooting. A gang-related attack has taken place in Los Angeles. Gabriella Rasso has more on the shooting.

This topic is of interest because violence is everywhere but it seems like it has escalated more and more over the years. I want to talk about the crimes of violence involving different ethnic groups and how much of an increase or decrease over the years it is. I would also hope that there are ways to prevent such violence. How violence on television and radio is effecting the younger generations minds, causing them to act out that violence. How seeing and growing up in a violent household affects children. Seeing violence, watching violence or even listening to it has an effect on peoples mind and sometimes has major consequences. How violence has now evolved and racial profiling in violence affects more

According to the past summaries ledgers provided by GunViolenceArchive.org the number of gun related incidents has increased over the past three years, along with the number of children deaths. Furthermore, as demonstrated by the charts, the number of deaths has been steadily increasing over the past three years by about 1,000 deaths, a crazy number that should be going in the opposite direction.

The purpose of this paper is to review and verify a recent study by Scott H. Decker of the University of Missouri – St. Louis, entitled Collective and Normative Features in Gang Violence (Decker & VanWinkle, 1996). The study will attempt to address why our local increase in gang violence has reached monumental heights causing an increase in gang members appearing your court.

Security has always been of major concern in many institutions across the world. This is perhaps because the success of many activities is highly dependent on the security that they associate themselves with. This report focuses on the gangs in Los Angeles, California. This task in this region has been mandated upon the Los Angeles Police Department, popularly referred to as the LAPD. The major stakeholders are the competent and highly qualified staff members within the department who have the necessary capacity to deal with the violent criminal gangs. The main problem that is targeted is the eradication of the criminal gangs within the region. This is through the elimination of illegal firearms, elimination of drive-by shootings and enactment of anti-graffiti laws which promote the gang activities. The graffiti have been shown by recent research to portray the gang territories.

Great post. I truly don’t believe that the mere presence of guns will increase the incidents of gun violence. There is always going to be some form of gun violence no matter how many guns there are or how many people see guns. If firearms were to be completely banned it would upset a lot of people which in return could lead to more gun problems then there already are. If you try to keep people from getting guns their simply going to find alternative illegal ways to get what they want.
