light of the assigned readings, law homework help

In light of the assigned readings in this module and the Department of Justice (DOJ) report on gangs increasingly expanding their operations into the suburbs of the United States, do you share the belief of many criminal justice professionals that gang activity is getting out of control? Or do you think that gang activity is about what it has always been and needs to be confronted but that it isn’t a crisis?

  • What are the underlying causes of gang violence—drug trade, poor immigration enforcement, or bad upbringing?
  • What are the top two or three key elements of any successful law enforcement or police strategies in dealing with gang activity?
  • Support your answers with your assigned readings and review of the DOJ information.
