Even with the overall decrease in national gang violence, there is still enough gang activity to make school dangerous in some cities, as well as make whole neighborhoods unsafe. Even though gang violence isn't a predominate issue like it used to be it is still causing unrest in many cities and states. Over 2,500 students in the United States dies from gang related violences.
