Gang Groups

A few years ago, we were contacted to carry out some economic logistics in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. I had not come across the slums of Rio de Janeiro and this offered me an opportunity of doing some research regarding life in slums. It’s in this view that I have decided to write about gang groups. As we interacted and got a closer view of life there, we gained a lot of experience regarding how communities living in slums carry on their daily lives and how their character is shaped.

From my research, I have learnt that social control may lack in such society. The acceptable rules and regulations that encompass values and ethical elements are lacking. The regulation of individual and gang behavior is lacking as a society with gangs impose its own rules and regulations contrary different from values and ethics. Gaining conformity and compliance to the rules that govern a given society is what dictates the direction the society is going.

I will show how social control is left in the hands of gang groups which take up the initiative of shaping the values of children as they grow up in such a society. I will provide evidence of how drugs are the order of the day in slums. Children brought up in such an environment most likely adopt such gang life.

Thesis Statement:The lack of adequate mechanism of socialism control plays a major role in formation of gangs, enhancing crime in the city especially in the slums.

After extensive research on gangs in slums, I have learnt that such an environment shapes the behaviors and character of children being brought there and therefore take such a stand in my thesis statement. It’s my intention that I will stick to this thesis statement even after doing more research.
