Gangsterism

Gangsterism involves organized groups engaged in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, violence, and other criminal enterprises. These groups often operate using hierarchical structures and codes of loyalty, and they may exert influence or control over communities or neighborhoods through intimidation and violence. While some view gangsters as symbols of rebellion or resistance, their actions generally undermine social order, safety, and economic stability. Addressing gangsterism requires understanding its social, economic, and cultural causes, and implementing strategies for prevention, law enforcement, and community development.
