Gangs are no longer just a big-city problem. While many of the early street gangs were formed with the intention of protection against others, they have slowly evolved into the gangs they were, in fact, protecting themselves against. From these early street gangs grew imitation or copy-cat gangs, which have spread all over the United States,
filtering into even the smallest American cities.
