gangs are active here a lot. but they are very unorganized. and their main income is stealing cellphones of people around. its nothing close to mafia or even the gheto gangs. I did got stabbed in the foot once from them "just for fun". but thats it.

I live in the outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden.
No gangs here, just annoying brats who occasionally likes to break things. Overall they're just loud-mouthed. Never bothered me though.

I live in Bradford, UK. You don't hear of gangs or anything but a walk around town will show you that theres an unhealthy drugs trade just below the surface.
Bradford is by no means the richest city in the UK, so when you see people who look younger than 30 driving Lambos and Astons on a daily basis its pretty obvious something illicit is going on.

In Australia we only have biker gangs. We hear about the odd biker fight or shooting. I think the media wants to play them down as much as possible. We just don't want to get other people wanting to join them or start new gangs (yes some people are that stupid).
I live in Utah, and you really don't hear about crime here because of the high presence of devoutly religious people. That being said, sometimes we can occasionally (once a decade, usually get some really bad shit, like the Hi-Fi murders [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-Fi_murders], taking place in the town I live in, of all places.
There are plenty of teenagers pathetically trying to live out their power-fantasies...
I'm sure there is organised crime. But it seems to be the case that you're very unlikely to be harmed by it unless you're directly involved in it.

Gangs of idiot teens causing damage, and more than an average number of druggies here, but nothing violent. The teens are just annoying, and the drugs arn't the really dangerous ones.
England Shropshire, by the way.

In Australia, we get the odd wannabe losers playing at being big tough gang members, and the media likes to play them up, but nothing terribly impressive.
There's bikie gangs, but they seem more like overly macho clubs most of the time. There's a bit of gun crime and drugs involved, but it appears there isn't that much. Occasionally two of them will bump into each other and there will be a fight, but this isn't the usual state of affairs and it makes the news for weeks.

Where I am not really. Maybe some minor youth gangs in the shittier areas around the prisons. But not really anything serious.
In Herefordshire where I live...
We have the SAS base >.>
There aren't any "Gangs" but there are a few families. Family Businesses if you catch my drift.
However there has never open warfare and rarely any hostilities between the families on anything other than "He called my Mrs a Slag" type incidents but its pretty hard to avoid that shit (unless you went to the college...... you know had an education).
It's mostly stealing from the Council, which then the council get back on their insurance. Occasionally they hide the odd body but only if the fella had it coming (like a rapist vanishing one night).
I'm technically related to one of the families and my Dad is owed a "favor" and has yet to use it... frankly he doesn't need their services but kinda odd knowing.
There are a few small groups involved in drugs supply who think they are owners of their "hood" but when one insulted a family they (about 20) walked into the guys street, said nothing, did nothing... he cried... they went away...

If you don't think there is crime in your area... there is bloody likely to be. You just aren't privy to its existance.

Hmmm well in this part of Arizona we have a couple real Gangstas from other places and we have a bunch of idiotic rich teenagers who think that never fighting when someone starts shit 1v1 they have to make it 100v1 (not exaggerating at all).
Not even with menacing people, they act that way to totally non threatening kids and one of the requirements to the "gaaaaaang" is smoking cigarettes and getting the shit beat out of you.
These kids are a disgrace, I understand the poor ones who had to join or family were in it, etc
But these whiny bitches have no excuse when they live in the nicest neighborhoods I've seen in my life, have life handed to them on a platter, yet still are complete bitches who will do nothing by themselves only with 100 friends and older brothers backing them up.
The real gangstas aren't so bad (personally) I get along with them but they also hate these fakes.
Although when you head to a place like South Phoenix you start to see the hood of AZ.
Gang activity is huge there.

No, they're not a big issue, they are part of the issue. The biggest issues we face here are Poverty, Corruption and Crime.
Imagine you're living in the world of Grand Theft Auto or Saint's Row, only that instead of being Niko or his Saint's Row counterpart, you're the helpless pedestrian being run over, shot, stabbed, or all of the above. And they do it for fun too.

This, pretty much. We just have the usual group of people sitting on a wall by the local grocery shop and heckling passersby. Then come nightfall, they smoke weed behind various buildings, being too young to own property...Nalbis said:
I suppose every area has its influential families. Round here, mine's actually one of them, being absolutely ancient. My uncles conveniently own a lot of moorland, and we're one of the few who own guns (barring air rifles). Beyond that, we're quite at odds with the local Freemasons.Comando96 said:
I grew up in the projects of Roxbury, MA. Gang violence was rampant then and it still is today. Lost a 12 year old family member because they shot him because they believed he was in a rival gang because of the colors he was wearing. They approached him, argued with him, shot him, then walked away like it was nothing,
I've been witness to drive by shootings, to people pointing guns at each other, watched a woman bleed to death on the street. I always thought for the longest time that it was a pretty sad sad world. Then I moved away to the quiet recesses of Vermont, and mostly here there are wannabees that pretend to be gang members that stand at the bus stop and swear at you and I think if you only knew the atrocities that real gang members can commit they'd stop pretending.

Living in Leeds, England, there isn't really that much in the way of gang activity. We did have a postcode gang crop up once though calling themselves the LS BadBois. They sprayed their name onto an old fish & chip shop, which was about to get knocked down anyway, and were never heard from again.
