gang prevention

Gang prevention involves strategies to stop young people from joining gangs and to reduce their influence. This includes providing positive activities, education, mentorship, and job opportunities to offer alternatives. Community programs work to build trust and cooperation among residents, schools, and law enforcement. Addressing issues like poverty, lack of support, and family instability is also essential. Overall, it aims to create a safer environment by guiding youth towards constructive paths and reducing the social and economic factors that contribute to gang involvement.
