YOUTH AND GANGSTERISM
Gangs are an international phenomenon and it as impacted on many countries across the globe. The growth and development of gangs are linked to questions of security, housing, health, resources, jobs, poverty and above all, solidarity.
Asalam-u-Alaikum to my teacher and fellow class mates, today my topic is youth and gangsterism.

They also intimidate passers-by. They resort to robbing and stealing to support their drug and alcohol habits. Larger gangs on other hand are more problematic and dangerous and are responsible for violent crimes like murders. These gangs are well organised and all the gangsters in that gang follow unwritten rules and if they break them they are punished with death.
Most people are roped into gangsterism at an early age, from the ages of ten to sixteen years. Many males are drawn into the gang arena by the attraction of money, power and glamour with which they associate gangsterism. They dream of the flashy cars, massive gold jewellery, immense amounts of money, and the power to control a whole town – as their ultimate goal. In reality, however, it is far from being what they thought it would be. Yet, as youngsters, they do not see further than their own ignorance. From the moment they join a gang, their lives become an orgy of murders, robberies, rapes and drunkenness that they would sometimes not understand or have wanted.
Smaller gangs, usually made up of youngsters, are also normally swallowed up by larger, more prominent gangs who then use the youngsters to commit the crimes for them.
You can identify if your child has joined a gang by noticing some changes in them which might be: The use of hand signs and graffiti. You might see them in possession of large money or new clothing and jewellery. They might be
