Residents can stop gang influence
Elizabeth City Police say that local gang membership is between 200 and 400, most belonging to the so-called “Crips” or “Bloods.” That’s a lot of teenagers and young adults bent on breaking the law. Even worse, gang membership appeals to younger kids who don’t have strong role models, goals or positive activities. But residents CAN fight back in many ways, from being good parents to supporting education and youth activities. How else can the community control gang activities and influence on youth?
