gang violence

Gang violence refers to conflicts and aggressive acts carried out by organized groups involved in criminal activities such as drug trafficking, theft, and intimidation. These groups often compete for control over territory, resources, or reputation, leading to violent confrontations that can endanger communities. Factors contributing to gang violence include socioeconomic disparities, lack of opportunities, and social marginalization. Addressing it requires community engagement, law enforcement efforts, and social programs aimed at prevention, rehabilitation, and reducing the underlying causes that lead individuals to join gangs.
