ANS: C
It is estimated that gangs are responsible for approximately 48% of all crime and up to 90% in some areas. These crimes include illegal alien smuggling, armed robbery, assault, auto theft, drug and weapon trafficking, identity theft, and murder. Gangs exist throughout the country, in urban and suburban areas. Destruction of lives and property is not the major reason why citizens should be concerned with gangs. Although gangs do give young persons protection, respect, and sense of belonging, the major concern would be the amount of crime that is associated with gangs.
