I happened to stumble upon this article and thought a discussion on gangs both in Utah and in general could be interesting. Many of you know I teach and I do so in an urban district in NJ that's about 95% Latino. Even in middle school, we see a good amount of gang involvement. We're no Camden or Newark (I'm sure many of you have heard of these cities and their God awful gang and criminal activity) but it's still quite prevalent.
I'm curious mostly about what these gangs are like in Utah, people's knowledge or experience with them, and their perspective on gangs in general and how law enforcement could better stifle them.
