Introduction

nothing but a distant idea and for others it is a cruel reality. The county and city of Los
Angeles are the gang capital of the nation. During the last three years there were over
16,398 verified gang violence cases in the city of Los Angeles.

The history of gang violence

In the late 1960s was the age in which the Crips and Bloods became the two
most horatius and delinquent ridden on going African American gangsoriginated.They kept the Crips' and Bloods' (Piru) name, spread within the
county of Los Angeles, and began to claim certain neighborhoods as their
territory.Bloods and Crips are the most recognized gangs because media
exposure received in the 1980's. These groups have migrated throughout
the country and are seen in most states and in prisons. There are a lot of
individual gangs under the Blood and Crip name.

Do Different individuals get the same amount?

Our opinion the gang member should not receive any type of compensation
because they put themselves in that predicament and they chose to live that
way.

On the other hand people who arent involved with gang affiliation should get the
some amount of money plus funeral coverage.

The formula of gang violence death

We as a group believe that if it is a non gang member their family should receive
whatever the funeral cost is. If the person who dies is a member of the family and
they support them, they should also receive a flat rate of $10,000.
If a person who is involved in gang violence then they will receive nothing due to
the fact that they put themselves in the line of fire.

Conclusion
Gang violence the war over colors is an issue that has affected many people of the
world. Homicides from gang violence have claimed 37.5 percent of males.There

been 491 homicides, nearly 7,047 felony assaults, 5,518 robberies and under 98
rapes. We as a community should bring awareness to this issue called gang
