( excerpts from Territoriality Among African American Street Gangs in Los Angeles by Alex Alonso, PhD Candidate . In Los Angeles and other urban areas in the United States, the formation of street gangs increased at a n alarming pace throughout the 1980s and 1990s .

Yo, you want to score big? A good offense... The first defense in protecting our kids against gang influence, is a good offense . Just as we warn our kids against the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs before we discover evidence of such activity , we must take similar precautions and talk to our children about the dangers of gang involvement. That is, making our children aware that gang association of any kind is harmful and will not be tolerated. They need to hear it from you and know where you stand. Discuss the consequences of being in a gang. We must teach them that they should not associate with gang members, communicate with gangs , hang out where gangs congregate, wear gang-related clothing or attend event...
