Introduction to the gangs unit
The world of gangs is a hazy and complicated one. For most of us it is not something that we will ever experience, however, as you will see, the world of gangs is more familiar to us than we realise.
In this unit we will explore the reasons that gangs exist, investigate what it is like to be part of the gang lifestyle and grapple with the key themes of 'identity' and 'nature v nurture'.
