Name:Instructor:Course:Date:Community Dynamics and the Rise of Street Gangs in the Latino CommunityThe forces that shape the type of youth behaviors which have been seen to cause urban street gangs have led researchers in different paths to unravel the question mostly in the context of adaptation of immigrants to the city. There have been developments which examine the urban gangs from physiological and social groups (D. Vigil). Street gangs in the 70s was popularly associated with the white enclaves and typically fists and sticks and knives were used but in recent years the street gangs is largely composed of ethnic groups especially the African American and Latinos using short guns at vehicles of aggression acts in cities. Gang are commonly made up of adolescents and youths who have grown up together as children specifically as cohorts in low income neighborhoods of the city where 10% of youth join street gangs (J. D.

The Latin community was forced to isolation in the physically substandard neighborhoods resulted to a series of repercussions such as the social distancing that made Latin community to have a feeling of inferiority and marginal (D. Vigil). Children from immigrant families had to start off socially and psychologically marginalized as the convectional socialization was not available to them (D. Vigil). The ecological and social economic factors were prominent in the segregation and isolation of Latin families and thus, the rate and direction of acculturation were undermined by these conditions. The emergence of street youth population due to the strains and pressure was because of mal-adaptation evolving into a gang subculture. The changes are attributed to the large scale of immigration of Latin community and the emergence of second generation of Latin American youths ensued. The youth street gangs started as innocuously as loose assemblages of wayward children solidified evolving within a span of short period into formal gangs who are destructive, violent bent to their routine and rhythms. The development of early street gangs is a reminiscent of later decades regarding the shanty towns which immigrants enclave in variou...
