Teen Violence

Teen Violence

A major social problem that is facing the United States at present is “Teen Violence”.   Teen Violence effects all age groups in society; the victims of their crimes are not always teens.  Nationwide, it is estimated that there are as many as 31,000 street gangs with a total membership of 846,000. In addition, almost three-quarters of cities with populations of more than 25,000 reported youth gangs in 1996. ("The 1996 National Youth Gang Survey," OJJDP Fact Sheet #86, Nov. 1998).  This is a number that is rising steadily.  Teens look to gangs as a means of protection from violence.  As more teens look to gangs as a way of fitting in or feeling safe from the other teens around them, teen violence will always be a problem in society.
	Violence is defined as the act of purposefully hurting someone or oneself. It is a learned behavior and Violence creates a cycle where we all end up affected in one way or another. Some teens can learn this at an early age.  Violence represents acts in which a person gets hurt; there are more people getting hurt from teen violence than ever before.  Between
