CRJ435″Why Do Street Gangs Exist?”

I need three paper so one paper for each assignment.

1.)  “Why Do Street Gangs Exist?”

Using what you’ve learned this week, respond to the following questions:

• What street gangs exist in your region?
• What role do you think that ethnic conflict, culture, and organized crime play in the development of any gang group?
• Respond to at least one of your classmates. Compare and contrast the gang activity in your area to the gang activity in their area.

  If you both have the same gangs in your areas, compare socio-economic factors of your areas.
  Do similar areas have the same types of gang activity or do the same gangs act the same way in different areas?

2.) CRJ435
