CRM 330 Reaction Paper Guidelines
Controversial Statement: “Street gangs in the United States operate exclusively at the local level, in isolation, and pose little threat outside their sphere of influence. It is impossible to determine what street gangs have the most influence or know what activities they engage in.” (Clearly, neither statement is true which makes this a controversial statement)
Your objective in writing this assignment is to define an issue comprehensively, critically, and clearly and to formulate and clarify your position using supporting published literary evidence on that issue by reacting to the assigned controversial statement.
In addition to other references please cite at least one reference for your paper from the assigned website(s) as follows:

While visiting the website think about the history and diversity within organized crime.
