  • Gang Culture (short)

    Gang Culture (short)

    Gang membership is on the rise nationwide. Why are we seeing an increase? Several reasons - 1. Identity - Kids join to be a part of something. To be known as a Crip or a Blood offers identity. 2.

Discipline - The gang, after being 'jumped in', becomes the child’s surrogate family.
