GANG VIOLENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Topic- Stopping Gang Violence

My perspective on this issues that the level of gang violence has increased tremendously in the last couple of years. "There were approximately 785,000 active street gang members in the United States, according to the National Youth Gang Center in 2007.In 2011, the National Gang Intelligence Center of the Federal Bureau of Investigation asserted that "There are approximately 1.4 million active street, prison, and outlaw of  gang members comprising more than 33,500 gangs in the United States." Approximately 230,000 gang members were in U.S. prisons or jails in 2011. More than 1,800 gangs were known to be operating in the UK in 2011. The term “street gang” is commonly used interchangeably with “youth gang,”. That was a very large amount as you can see and as you know we need to try a little harder to make that amount decrease because it is getting too high. My estimation the age of kids in a gang is from the age of 10 until when ever and that's a really young age and we have to take a part in the kids life's to make there decisions better cause that amount of gang members is a ridiculous number and I'm pretty sure we can change that.
