How To Make The Communities Safer

Acts are being done however to make the communities safer. In 1992 an ordinance was created that stated that gangs were not allowed to loiter with other gang members in certain public areas. This helped to eliminate some of the cross fire gang violence because it decreased the chances of gang rivals getting in fights when they were seen loitering around each other. However, the issue of freedom is brought up because people believe that every person has a right to be anywhere they want. Does it cross the line when innocent civilians’ lives are in jeopardy? This is why gang violence in the community is still so common today. Due to the fact that people believe they that should be free to hang out where ever they want, gang fights continue to break out. With the continuous break out of fights, cross-fire activity occurs, resulting in serious injury and death for the civilians.
