    Option 4 is currently the only economical and rational measure. We screwed our society over when we removed corporal punishment from the education system. When the board of education was applied to the seat of attention then knowledge was imparted. Knowledge that you had better not act in certain manners because the consequences were not desirable. We need to reinstate mandatory corporal punishment into the Judaical and Educational system. It works and does not cost an arm and a leg.

    Unfortunately for the gang members they have lost to the learning curve and should be eliminated for the good of society.

    Education and Eradication are the best options at our disposal but nothing can completely rid the world of gangs. By getting rid of the causes of gangs - lack of positive role models, stable support system, and opportunities, they would be less abundant. You also have to get rid of the already formed gangs to prevent them from going underground.

    Deportation and jail only leads to larger, better organized gangs in "unstable" environments where they gain dominance. Deportation led to situations like MS-13, and the last thing the world needs is for gangs to take over any government of any country. The Taliban and Hamas are gangs, albeit very well organized and armed groups, that have done exactly that.

    The truth is that the world will never be completely purged of gangs, whether they be the Black Panthers, the KKK, or the MS-13. The fact is that people will find other people with similar ideologies and further their agenda by any means. The more oppressed and frustrated any group of people feel, the more gangs will arise.

    There have ALWAYS been gangs and there will always be gangs. That is because there is POWER IN NUMBERS, plain and simple. And the less empowered some disenchanged youth in any innercity block you want to visit feels, the more appeal joining up gets to be. There has to be a viable BETTER choice available, if you expect people to MAKE better choices.

    Deportation is a revolving door, people come back, the same way they came in the first place.

    Jail costs more than a college education.

    AND who said gang activity stops behind bars? Jails and Prisons and Juvenile Detention are school days for gang members, they find lots of new members every time they get sent up. It is solving nothing, in MOST cases to put gang members behind bars. You'd have to send them all to a DIFFERENT facility and surround them with nicer criminals who were picked up for stuff like jaywalking, or shoplifting at a grocery store, embezzlement and so forth.

    EDUCATION is only a good option if there is a JOB to go along with your student loan.

    Gangs have become a very major problem, and a very, very complex one. You have wannabe suburban kids who in their great effort to emulate a real thug, commit crimes needlessly, just to impress the ignorant other wannabes they hang out with. Then you have gang kids who are born right into the life. And others who feel like their survival hinges on joining the ranks of the biggest meanest organization in their midst.

    Its a problem. The glorification of gang life has become an easy way to sell music, artists, etc... and that factors in to the appeal as well. Kids who grew up never knowing a gangsta aspire for that image and art imitates life and then life imitates art. I think it is important to have programs for gang involved youths that are aimed at getting them redirected-- but these days it makes little sense to have a jobs program, when we all KNOW the jobs aren't out there for presentable college grads, much less out there for tattoed hardasses.

    If Robber Gangs Alt currency made by computer graphics to supply currency to ATMS on street corners and system where citizens control money. Next a suggestion is to organige gladiator matches between gangs, Murderers, and Vigilantes. Live T.V. Shows like Running Man.

    Hunting Parties with liscences comprised of Special Forces and other Elite Troops matched against White Supremacists in addition to gang members in arenas or secluded cordoned off areas of forest in America. Abolish prisons and set up entertainment based on death .

    I really don't know, and I am a survivor of a gang beating 3 years ago. The police refused to follow up on it and I got stuck with a big hospital bill. There was plenty of evidence to pursue it.

    Law enforcement is sometimes corrupt and paid off, and other times they know they put their lives at risk to pursue the gangs. I have done my research. A complicated problem! No simple answer.

    Trace the faults.

    Then find a solution.

    Like having the I-Robots with A. I.

    Recall back to the workshop for maintenance and servicing.

    Trace where are the loose screws that cause the sparking.

    With the short-circuit.

    Why not get "Wall-E"

    To help out?

    Luke 8.5-8,10-17

    What do you think?

    Education is the only way to do it, but the government only likes to talk and make up catch phrases

    "Just Say No"

    "No Child Left Behind"

    "The War on Drugs"

    It's all bull - there's no real effort of monetary support behind any of it
