St. Maarten Private Eye

Remember you said that, "Graffiti is one of the first signs that street gangs are taking hold in your neighborhood and is also an excellent way to track gang growth, affiliation, and sometimes even provides membership information"

But what I am trying to get you to realize is that crime and deviance is not one and the same. In many many cases, those labeled deviant, or called gangs evolve a deviant identity (gang identity) and may pursue a career of deviance.

Trying to label the corner crews here in the caribbean as gangs may just create what you despise. You will be avenue for their voice and attention they seek.

Nuff said
