When looking at violence and abuse, take a further
look and examine how the consequences associated
with gang involvement could affect self, family, and
community. Research your state's laws regarding
gang involvements and weapons and write a 5
paragraph response about:
1) the consequences for gang involvement
2) the consequences for weapon possession and
use
3) the importance of avoiding gang involvement

Answer 1

Answer:

1) the consequences for gang involvement: Consequences of gang membership may include exposure to drugs and alcohol, age-inappropriate  behavior, difficulty finding a job because of lack of education and work skills, removal from ones family, imprisonment and even death

3) the importance of avoiding gang involvement: Compared to non-gang members, gang members commit a disproportionate amount of violent crimes and offenses across the country. Gangs and gang involvement result in short- and long-term negative outcomes for gang-involved youth, their friends and families, and the surrounding communities. Gangs increase the levels of crimes in communities, and set a bad example for kids in the area. They create an image of power and respect, when in reality they drop out of school, struggle with unemployment, abuse drugs and alcohol or end up in jail. Communities fear them because of the harm they can bring to others.
