Clothing - Is it used as a fashion garment or gang?

"Clothes make the man." Or who has so often said. Clothing is also, by style, color, and how it is used, may indicate that the individual, a young man or young woman is a gang member. Unfortunately, many young people today who are not related to gang activity has even adopted the dress style and manner of cool.

CLOTHING / THE LOOK

The emergence of youth gangs carrying bags and Banger visible, and most recently - the drug addicts seen, does not necessarily mean that the gang had arrived in a particular environment. It is not graffiti, code words and symbols are converted automatically into gang activity.

Arose from the grunge "look with great praise from the hip-hop with" attitude ", small bags and heads shaved, clothing or gang, has become popular among teenagers, including the scale of young upper class and white middle too.

Professional and College Sports Wear - Today's youth can be seen in groups in the streets, in schools, malls, everywhere, all the same kind of clothes and a hat with a color identical or similar. Does this mean that every young man in this way is a gang member? Absolutely not !!!!!

If a young man wearing jewelry popular items as a star of six points, five point star, a crescent or a Playboy bunny, does that mean he or she is a gang member? Again, absolutely not.

Wearing a certain style, type and color of clothing, colored bandanas, jewelry, shoes and other goods, not a positive indicator of the gang. This is just one of the indicators or factors to consider when identifying gang members.

In many areas, especially when the band is still involved in the war region, where shootings are commonplace, where people are often attacked or killed, many victims are identified as members of a rival gang because " he wore a particular color. Sometimes, young children without gang ties, had become targets or victims, because they, too, wearing the wrong colors or clothes.

Young people want to "look cool" and wearing the latest fashion, including fashion gang. My advice is do not!
