Gangs and Juvenile Delinquency
... Gangs are a very serious problem in the United States. They are a big contributor to juvenile delinquency. The movie I watched, Hardball, showed what life is like in areas controlled by gangs. ... There are many different types of gangs. The movie I watched showed only gangs that steal and kill. ... There are also many parts in the movie where different gangs and gang members are seen driving in cars and watching the younger juveniles. The real focus of these gangs was to get what they want. ... This just shows that the gangs do not care who gets hurt, just as long as they get what they want. The projects or the ghetto was where they based these gangs, and gangs are found in many other places. ... The kids played baseball to stay away from gang violence and when they do not have that available to them they turn to gangs.
