Why do children and young people join gangs?
Children and young people associated with gangs are in general extremely vulnerable.
What are the signs a young person may be involved in a gang?
If you have concerns a child is involved in a gang, those concerns are not necessarily proof, so it’s important to proceed in an open and non-judgemental way in order to gain further insight.
How does peer pressure play a part in online facilitated gang violence?
This type of online behaviour is typically being played out in front of an engaged and active audience of peers made up of fellow and rival gang members and bystanders.
How can social media be used to incite violence between gangs?
Members of gangs may use social media to post threats or taunts to rival gangs.
