Question

What are 3 factors that led to the creation of youth gangs in Central America?

Answer 1

Answer:

- Economic factors

- Political instability

- Broken family

Explanation:

- Economic factors

The youth who were born tend to not have many opportunities to advance in society. Many of them turn into criminal acts (such as dealing drugs) as the only way for them to accumulate wealth. So, many of them decided to join gangs.

- Political instability

Politicians in central America had a high level of corruption. A lot of them aware that gangs have influence in youth development, but very few of them actually want to spend resources to take care of the problem.

- Broken family

Youth who were born without parents that can  love them and teach them about morals and principles tend to seek other social groups where can they feel a sense of belonging. Sometimes, Youth Gangs gave that sense of comfort that they can't find in their homes.
