StopGangsInNEPA

Why are these organizations relocating to our NEPA?

1) The law enforcement is cracking down on gang activities in their own community
2) The price of drugs in our community are considerably higher then intercity communities
3) Our law enforcement does not have the man power to combat gangs correctly

Gangs are neither just a big city or inner city problem, nor are they a problem of a particular race or culture. Gangs cross all ethnic, racial, socioeconomic, gender, and geographic boundaries. They bring fear and violence to neighborhoods, traffic in drugs, destroy property, involve youth in crime, and drive out businesses. Gangs pull teens away from school and home into a life of violence. One of the scariest aspects of gang violence is it's often indiscriminate and unpredictable. Gang members have been known to kick, punch, hit, or even kill their victims. People get hurt if they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. If gangs or gang members are in your school or neighborhood, you know it.
