What gangs do?
Gangs are a group a people who live on the streets and commit crimes like: graffiti, robbing stores, robbing houses, steeling cars, and drinking, smoking, and do drugs under age. Gangs fill a need in a youth culture that experiences a void. They feel like a group where you can belong in a world that has rejected or ignored you. Unfortunately, gangs are a negative influence, they destroy lives and any potential for a young person involved, and make neighborhoods a harsh and fearful place. Older members are those that have no hope of having a normal life, have not learned how to function in society, and often enjoy the power of manipulating the younger generation. Gangs don't benefit the individual or the community and in most cases bring both down.
What were gangs like 1960?
In the 1960's there really wasn't any gangs like today. For the most part they did exist in places like East LA or Compton, but as a whole they didn't exist. There has always been illegal people who use society to make money for themselves. In the 1920's the mafia became very powerful in the United States making illegal liquor, owning the trucking and building unions, handling the ports and controlling them, even owning garage companies. Of course, one of the largest gangs of the 1960's was the Hells Angles motorcycle club. They ran drugs and did other illegal activities, but the gangs like what we see today with young teens involved weren't that active. They were just starting . I think young men and women join gangs because they don't feel a connection to a church, family, or community so the gang becomes the important connection in their life. All of us need to feel connected to something or someone who is greater than we are.
What the good things and the bad thing about community?

Why would boys belong to gangs?
Gangs offer the opportunity to make money by selling illegal drugs, they offer protection from other gangs or other dangerous people, and they give their members a warm sense of belonging and security, knowing that they have allies who will back them up. It makes perfect sense to people who have not found better ways to make their way in the world.
