Part of growing up is about expressing yourself and voicing your own opinions about major subjects, such as joining gangs. It isn't easy to say what you think about anything unless you have all the facts. This book gives clear, no-nonsense information about gangs and the people who join them. Quotes from current and ex- gang members show the pros and cons of gang life. It explores issues such as bullying and peer pressure while also showing the good sides of being one of the gang. Combining real-life case studies with interesting facts and figures from all around the world, this book provides the information you need to make up your own mind about this important subject.
