Week 19 | May 10, 2016 | Host: Rusty Keeble
Hello GFORCE, this is Rusty Keeble with the Gang Enforcement Company; welcome to Gang Enforcement. Unclassified. Episode 19 of the 2-Minute Tuesday Training Tip -
this week's topic is this ---------- Gang Recruitment Locations
Let's focus on the most common recruitment locations we see throughout the United States and around the world.
Schools
Gang recruitment is popular at your local schools because many schools do not address the gang presence. Correctional Facilities
There is no better place for a gang to recruit their next member than inside a juvenile justice or correctional facility. Churches
This may sound out of place but it's a place where there is an abundance of kids and the parents are not engaged or in fear of a threat. Teen Events
There are a lot of kids usually without parental control where peer pressure can play a role. Athletic Events
Another key area where there are a lot of kids, little parental involvement and a lot of egos and peer pressure. Malls
The mall has become a popular hangout for both gangs and non-affiliated youth making it a perfect place to seek new members. Internet
With an internet connection, gang organizations can extend the audience for cyberbanging, recruiting, or online gang activity to thousands of potential gang members. News Articles About Gang Recruitment
MARYLAND - “Have we seen some recent activity and some more violent activity? Yes. Particularly in the last quarter of last year,” said County Police Capt. Paul Liquorie, director of the Special Investigations Division, who met with the group Safe Silver Spring Thursday night.
The county saw a spike in gang-related murders late last year. There were eight gang-related deaths in Montgomery County last year, up from one in 2014. One victim was just 15. “We’re seeing younger and younger recruitment,” Liquorie said. “Social media plays a big role in this, whether it’s identification or recruitment.” CANADA - A lot of people who live in neighbourhoods that are hot spots for gangs are newcomers to Canada and it is their children who are often targeted for recruitment, said Waddell.
AUSTRALIA - The head of Queensland’s organised crime taskforce has warned about outlaw gang recruitment and said police would be concerned at any surge in numbers, as the Palaszczuk government considers overturning the state’s tough anti-bikie laws.
The Australian can reveal several gangs, including the Nomads, have recruited young members from violent street crews operating between Brisbane and Tweed Heads on the NSW border.
