Asian Gangs in America: Why Should They Matter to Education?
International Journal of Education and Social Science; Vol. 6 No. 8; October 2019 ISSN 2410-5171 (Online), 2415-1246 (Print) Published by Research Institute for Progression of Knowledge Asian Gangs in America: Why Should They Matter to Education? Ie May Freeman, Ed.D. HeeKap Lee, Ph.D. Ivy Yee-Sakamoto, Ph.D. Azusa Pacific University 901 E Alosta Ave, Azusa, CA 91702 United States of America Abstract The prominence of gangs in America is a growing concern. Gangs have penetrated into the heart of communities across America. Their presence has had a measurable effect on society. Gang influence infiltrates into public school systems, where violent activities occur due to gang presence. As a result, many school districts have taken action to reduce gang involvement and violence, including the implementation of gang prevention programs. This paper allows the reader to understand the background of Asian gangs in United States and their impact on our schools. Key words: Asian gangs, gang membership, model minority, gang prevention instruction Introduction The prominence of youth gangs is a growing and critical concern in education in the United States of America. In this article will address the key causes and effects of youth gangs, especially among Asian American students and suggest effective strategies to implement the gang prevention programs. Factors of Gang Membership There are prevailing factors that influence why juveniles are involved in gangs. The first factor is insufficient education. According to Hawkins and Lynch (2006), youths who have inadequate education typically have a low degree of commitment to school. Duran (2006) reports that truancy, lack of focus, and poor grades are evidence of minimal dedication to school.

Gangs Beyond Borders
Gangs Beyond Borders California and the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime March 2014 Kamala D. Harris California Attorney General Gangs Beyond Borders California and the Fight Against Transnational Organized Crime March 2014 Kamala D. Harris California Attorney General Message from the Attorney General California is a leader for international commerce. In close proximity to Latin America and Canada, we are a state laced with large ports and a vast interstate system. California is also leading the way in economic development and job creation. And the Golden State is home to the digital and innovation economies reshaping how the world does business. But these same features that benefit California also make the state a coveted place of operation for transnational criminal organizations. As an international hub, more narcotics, weapons and humans are trafficked in and out of California than any other state. The size and strength of California’s economy make our businesses, financial institutions and communities lucrative targets for transnational criminal activity. Finally, transnational criminal organizations are relying increasingly on cybercrime as a source of funds – which means they are frequently targeting, and illicitly using, the digital tools and content developed in our state. The term “transnational organized crime” refers to a range of criminal activity perpetrated by groups whose origins often lie outside of the United States but whose operations cross international borders. Whether it is a drug cartel originating from Mexico or a cybercrime group out of Eastern Europe, the operations of transnational criminal organizations threaten the safety, health and economic wellbeing of all Americans, and particularly Californians.

STREET GANGS: Intelligence T& Awareness Training
STREET GANGS: Intelligence t& Awareness Training Provided by the GANG UNIT INTRODUCTION: The Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit is a statewide specialty unit that investigates violent criminal street gangs and their related crimes. There are approximately 40 Troopers assigned to 7 teams, all of which work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners. The Gang Unit's focus is on intelligence gathering, gang/crime suppression, and case management of gang related crimes. The Gang Unit assists municipalities by providing gang training, completing joint directed patrols in high crime areas, and providing undercover officers for narcotics purchases in gang and high crime areas. WHAT IS A GANG? MGL c.265 s.44 references a gang as an "organization of three or more persons which has a common name, identifying sign or symbol and whose members individually or collectively engage in criminal activity." Most gangs have a hierarchy ofleadership & membership, and at least some form of organizational structure. WHO ARE GANG MEMBERS? Today, there is no ''typical'' gang member. Gang members come in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, races, religions, economic backgrounds, and age: male and female. The stereotype of the young inner-city minority male dressed in baggie clothes and bandanas, gang beads draped around their necks, tossing hand signs, is no longer the rule. Pop culture has mainstreamed the "gangsta" look. RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH JOINING A GANG: * Friends who are gang members * Constitutional/biological factors * Family issues (subs. abuse, violence, etc.) * Bullying * Positive media portrayals of gangs * Academic failure/problems * Environment * Economic deprivation WHY DO PEOPLE JOIN GANGS? * Sense of family or belonging * Status and/or recognition * Protection * Money/economic hardship * Excitement * Environment/lack of positive role models * Lack of self-esteem * It may be all they know ..

Mara Salvatrucha: the Most Dangerous Gang in America
Mara Salvatrucha: The Deadliest Street Gang in America Albert DeAmicis July 31, 2017 Independent Study LaRoche College Mara Salvatrucha: The Deadliest Street Gang in America Abstract The following paper will address the most violent gang in America: Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13. The paper will trace the gang’s inception and its development exponentially into this country. MS-13’s violence has increased ten-fold due to certain policies and laws during the Obama administration, as in areas such as Long Island, New York. Also Suffolk County which encompasses Brentwood and Central Islip and other areas in New York. Violence in these communities have really raised the awareness by the Trump administration who has declared war on MS-13. The Department of Justice under the Trump administration has lent their full support to Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) to deport these MS-13 gang members back to their home countries such as El Salvador who has been making contingency plans to accept this large influx of deportations of MS-13 from the United States. It has been determined by Garcia of Insight.com that MS-13 has entered into an alliance with the security threat group, the Mexican Mafia or La Eme, a notorious prison gang inside the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The Mexican Drug Trafficking Organization [Knights Templar] peddles their drugs throughout a large MS-13 national network across the country. This MS-13 street gang is also attempting to move away from a loosely run clique or clikas into a more structured organization. They are currently attempting to organize the hierarchy by combining both west and east coast MS-13 gangs.
