Paragraph:

                One of the key issues in autobiography of my dead brother is gangs, which should be stopped.  According to http://www.helpinggangyouth.com/statistics.html  every city that has 250k people or more has gang activity.  Police officers have reported 664,908 of the youth are in gangs. http://www.ncvc.org/ncvc/main.aspx?dbName=DocumentViewer&DocumentID=32352
Also approximately 69 teens out of 100,000 are killed due to gang activity. http://www.wright-house.com/ac/papers97/Tsou-ac1.html.  Gangs are important because if they continue to go on the death rate would keep increasing in the youth like it has over that past 10 years.
