Research Paper

This quarter my college Writing class is doing a collaborative Global Issue Analysis Research Paper. My group is doing global gang violence, pretty much based on the history of gangs around the world. During my research I found a website called History.com, which is based on a tv show called Gangland, featuring different gangs. I have dicovered that gangs are notorious all around the world, and have been around for thousands of years. 5 of the biggest gangs and criminal groups in existance today is the Crips who are primarily but not exclusively, african american, mostly found in Los Angeles. Hells Angles which is more of a club than a criminal organization. Another gang is the MS13 gang also known as Mara Salvatrucha, mostly made up of Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Central Americans. There is also the IRA (Irish Republican Army) being in existance since around 1916. The final most notorious gang in the world is the Russian Mafia, and their members are mostly ex Soviet Army officers. To find more on these gangs follow this website.
