Street Gang

A street gang is a group of individuals who come together for the purpose of committing crimes and engaging in other forms of criminal activity. Street gangs may be organized around a particular neighborhood, ethnicity, or other shared characteristic, and they often have a hierarchical structure and a set of rules and codes of conduct.

Street gangs may engage in a wide range of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, robbery, extortion, and violence. They may also be involved in other forms of exploitation, such as human trafficking and prostitution. Street gangs can pose a threat to public safety and can create a sense of fear and insecurity in the communities where they operate.

If you are concerned about street gangs in your community, it is important to report any suspicious activity to the authorities. You can also seek support and assistance from community organizations or law enforcement agencies that work to prevent and address gang-related crime.
