عصابة الأحياء والنسيج العمراني

Abstract EN

This study explores the increasing severity of incidents and their formation into gangs in major urban areas, leading authorities to enact preventive measures against neighborhood gangs.

the rise in gang activity is linked to neighborhood dynamics, especially in newer areas where population displacement from impoverished regions has occurred.

Informal settlements have become hubs for various crimes, including abductions, sexual assaults, theft, and drug trafficking.

neighborhood gangs consist of individuals from various backgrounds, including those with limited access to education, poor families, rural migrants, or those from fragmented households.

they are a manifestation of declining collective consciousness and the erosion of societal norms and values.

the research aims to understand how the urban environment contributes to the proliferation of neighborhood gangs, whether residential neighborhoods themselves are the root cause or if the transition to new residential areas also plays a role in their emergence.
