STREET GANGS CREATE PUBLIC OUTCRY

     Gangs in our schools and streets are not a laughing matter. This is not a joke. They are doing everything in their power to take over as many areas as they can. The need to identify these members and their signs is crucial for community safety. It is predicted that gangs will infiltrate just about every school and neighborhood in the near future. Do not think that just because you live in an exclusive area that you are exempt from the gang problem. No neighborhood, area, or school is safe.

     “Gangs will not rest until they rule as much territory as they can get away with and this is not just limited to the streets but our public schools as well,” advises Gilbert Cabrera, author of the new book, Gangs in our Schools An Educators Guide. “The need to recognize the depths of their existence in our communities and public schools is crucial to combating the problem at all levels.”

     Cabrera contends that until there is a jointly concerted effort by federal, state, and educational officials, the gang issue will thrive to its fullest extent. “Unfortunately this is exactly the action street gangs want public officials to take; no action, because it allows them to operate under the radar of problems they present,” he says. “Take the gang issue very seriously.”

     Gangs in our Schools An Educators Guide gives you all the tools necessary to recognize the gang influence in your school and neighborhood. In it you will find out how to spot a gang member by their dress, their membership rules, and the hidden agenda to their tagging and symbols. This book outlines everything needed to identify gang members and understand their views on education and how they treat the general public.

     Cabrera is out to change the way street gangs are dealt with in education. “We cannot continue to permit gang members to get away with punishments that do nothing more than give them a few days off from school or a slap on the wrist.” Cabrera contends “everyone needs to be involved, and this includes the general population.” By creating a public outcry maybe this issue will be brought to the forefront nationwide and will be dealt with the way it needs to be, he states.
