We all read about gang activity in our daily newspapers and watch all of the news reports on TV as well.  The problem is very few people really to anything to stop or curb the gang activity in our neighborhoods.  It may partially be due to the fact that Hollywood has almost made gang life look glamorous (at least in some movies and on some shows).  This may in fact be partially true in that gangs traditionally do provide a comfort similar to a family in that the members generally look out for each other and have each other’s backs.  However, the reality is that the behaviors they engage in our dangerous and often illegal.  We compiled a list of 30 blogs about gang activity to raise the general awareness and to point out the criminal nature rather than the shine that Hollywood may have put on this scene.
