The source of the problem imo though isn't just a no-snitch culture, it's a broken family culture too. So many of these gang members were born in a household with no father figure or a home where both parents were either fighting so much or were criminals themselves. These kids join gangs not only because it's "cool" or for the cash game; they do it to be apart of some kind of family unit. It's tragic.
