Question

Gangs are the result of family breakdown

Answer 1

Gang culture is partly caused by absent fathers and family breakdown, a teachers’ union says.

The NASUWT, the largest teachers’ union in the UK, has released findings of independent research it commissioned into gangs and schools.

The research examines the scale and nature of gang-related activity in UK schools. It highlights deprivation, family breakdown, the absence of father figures and lack of positive activities as reasons for the emergence of gang culture.

The study reports that children feel “most impressionable at ages 13 and 14” but staff raised concerns that even children of primary school age were at risk of gang involvement.

This is not the first time family breakdown has been linked to gang culture.

In an earlier report released in April, NASUWT, the same teachers’ union behind the latest findings, said that children often joined gangs to seek the security they lacked at home.
