This Pa’per is based on the previous Rough Dr’aft Pa’per, which will be provided below with FEEDBACK.
Feedback: This is a good start. Be sure to continue citing sources throughout the paper. The topic is the crime and criminal behavior of juveniles, so it’s important to explore who these individuals are and why they are drawn into this lifestyle. Consider all influencing factors, including the criminal aspect—what crimes they commit and the reasons behind them.
Additionally, examine how laws regarding gangs have changed over time. What do law enforcement officials say about gangs? What are families’ perspectives? What do advocacy groups believe? Insights from former gang members about what is needed or what works are also valuable. Finally, discuss why gangs are considered a critical issue in relation to crime today.
