12. Short-term solutions to gangs are problematic at best.
What are you going to do? Lock them up and turn them into even worse people behind bars?

Society has totally abandoned these people that I don't know anything but long-term solutions.

The long-term solution, in my mind, is to raise the ghettos out of poverty. Maybe if so many of them haven't been forgotten and left to rot in the gutter, they wouldn't turn to a life of violence and crime to survive.
