Many experts believe that gang migration is more a trend of street gang culture than the development of individual gangs with a national infrastructure
It is true that some street gangs have national scope, but the majority are local imitations of Los Angeles or Chicago gangs. Only in proximity to large metropolitan areas such as Chicago and Los Angeles has there been evidence of significant gang migration. Name at least five reasons that explain gang member migration.
1 . To stay with relocating families
2 . To avoid apprehension and prosecution
3 . To avoid retribution from rival gangs
4 . To participate in private and public training and rehabilitation programs
5 . To take advantage of new criminal markets and higher illegal profits
6 . To reduce street gang rivalry and competition
7 . To find communities that are easier to initiate and manipulate
8 . To take advantage of limited law enforcement resources and the lack of recognition and
awareness of the gang
