What are the dangers of being in a gang?

Gangs often have guns and drugs, exposing kids to the dangers of both. Members can be seriously hurt or killed during gang fights or criminal acts. Gang membership can also hamper education, since schools are viewed negatively by gangs. Extensive police records limit future employment opportunities. Families of gang members also face danger for their own safety from feuding gang members.

Aside from the obvious problems with the police and spending time in court and jail; gangs often, if not always, expose their members to guns, drugs and violence. Members can be seriously hurt or killed during gang fights or while committing criminal acts.
