Gang Activities in Macon Georgia
Gang is a term used for any group or collection of individuals, who merge together to achieve a common objective or goal, mostly to fulfill their desire to indulge in criminal and illegal activities. The members of a gang are called gangsters. Thousands of gangs are working all over the world in various countries and waters, accomplishing their deviant goals and disrupting the peace of the world (Cloward, & Ohlin, 2013). This has become a serious concern for law enforcement globally, who struggle with maintaining law and order to eliminate or limit the activities of these gangs in their jurisdictions.
The United States is also not free from this evil. A number of gangs are working in multiple states all across the nation, keeping the respective police departments busy in chasing and capturing gangs, and investigating the reasons behind crime trends (Howell, & Griffiths, 2018). Most of the gangs formed in the United States are on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, and nationality. Georgia is a state thriving with gangs. Macon, also known as Macon-Bibb County, is considered the central place or “Heart of Georgia”, hence becoming the center of attention for everyone, including gangsters.
Most of the gangs, working in Macon, deal in weapons and drug trade. The gangs find it a profitable business to smuggle guns and various kinds of drugs in the county. The Macon police department states that most of the gang members are young, teenagers and in their early twenties. They are fascinated by the fake glitter of money and want easy cash. Cellphone smuggling is also considered a shining business among the gangs of Macon. The Police Department of Macon constantly strives to catch the gang members and curb this evil from the county. According to the sheriff, Lt. Cedric Penson, the jail of Bibb-County is already full of gangsters but it will take time to completely eradicate the evil of gangs from the Macon-Bibb County.
