Helping kids get out
To prevent gang involvement among your kids, here are some tips from End Gang Life initiative’s Youth and Gangs booklet, available at endganglife.ca in English, Chinese, Punjabi and Arabic.
·         Always know where your kids are, what they are doing, and who they are with.
·         Avoid “tough love” such as cutting them off or forbidding them from going out.
·         Take an interest and be a part of your children’s school and extracurricular activities.
·         Help your kids choose positive friends.
·         Have open communication with your kids so they feel comfortable talking to you.
·         If you suspect your child may be involved in gang activity already, Sgt. Houghton advises to:
·         Approach your local police or school counsellor for help. Ask questions. Inquire about community resources aimed at immigrant youth and their families.
·         Talk to your child. Open the conversation calmly with an observation. For example, “I was cleaning up your room and found some stuff that concerns me. We should talk.” Tell your child you’ve done some research and why you are afraid for them.
·         Arrange a mini-intervention-style discussion with a police officer. Sgt. Houghton says that most kids successfully walk away once they have the knowledge and support to help them get out of a gang.

Gang proof your kids: newcomer youth vulnerable
Over the past 25 years gangs have become more diverse, ethnically and socioeconomically. A prime example is the UN gang, which first rose to prominence in B.C.’s Fraser Valley in the late 1990s. At its height, the gang had 200 members and, like the organization it was named after, represented dozens of different cultures.
“Immigrant kids become Canadianized really quickly. They tell their parents ‘I need a $200 pair of shoes to fit in.’ And when we ask kids whose parents give them a $20 allowance each week why they joined a gang they say, ‘I didn’t want a crappy job. I thought selling drugs was a quicker way to make money. I didn’t realize the risks.’ The sad reality is, very few people get rich in gangs.”
Ending gang life
Fortunately, there is more education available today to help those at-risk kids like Rodney and Carrillo avoid gang life. The BC-CFSEU’s End Gang Life initiative, for example, uses edgy posters, videos and radio ads to reach at-risk kids in Vancouver and across the country. The posters are deliberately raw and direct, using shocking images and statistics to address the reality of gang life.
“The feedback has been extremely positive,” Sgt. Houghton says. “We have kids coming up to us after a talk. One young man came up to us in tears to tell us his cousin had been pressuring him to sell drugs, but now he knew how to stand up to him.”

Organized Crime in Canada - The Canadian Encyclopedia

First Nations organized crime gangs have long existed in Canada. One prominent native organized mob group is the "Manitoba Warriors," which operates in the Winnipeg area. In January 2014, Winnipeg police arrested 57 men and women aged 17 to 51, alleging that they were members or associates of what police called the "the city's most powerful ...

A History of Violence

I spent my teens running with street gangs. They gave me a sense of power and belonging that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Then I got into a knife fight in a Coffee Time bathroom—and the other guy wound up dead

Report offers rare peek into Canadian gang life and high-risk youth

Prof. Ngo chose this demographic as his subject matter because their numbers are increasing nationally and because not enough research has been done on what pulls these youth into gangs.
Calgary was the battleground for the intense and bloody feud between FOB (originally known as Fresh Off the Boat, now stands for Forever Our Brothers) and FK (FOB Killers). The two sides, which both had Asian and Caucasian members, were part of the same gang until 2002 when the FK faction broke off and began fighting for control of the drug scene.


Why so many Somali-Canadians who go west end up dead
Since 2005, dozens of young men from Canada's Somali community have been killed, most of them casualties along a cocaine-dusted corridor between the housing projects of Toronto and the oil patch in Alberta. Most cases remain unsolved.
The Somali-Canadian community may be rooted in Toronto, but the source of its grief is in Alberta, where at least 23 young men have died in the past seven years.
They come here dreaming of well-paying jobs, hoping to send money back home and end two decades of poverty. But many lack recognized skills and end up chronically underemployed, driving cabs or working as hotel housekeepers; or they're unemployed, as is the case with more than 300 Somalis in Fort McMurray today.

Immigrant youth and crime:  Stakeholder perspectives on risk and protective factors 

Unlike  the  United  States,  Canada  does  not release to the public crime statistics related to race and ethnicity, apart from those of Aboriginal Canadians and federal prison populations; consequently, there has been little research  conducted  in  this  area  within  the Canadian  context.  Although  crime  statistics  are not readily available, data from the 2002 Canadian Police Survey on Youth Gangs suggest that a  majority  of  gang  members  (some  82  percent)  are  from  the  so-called  visible inorities  -  African-Canadian,  Asian,  Hispanic,  East  Indian  and  the  like.  We  can
assume  that  many  of  these  youth  are first-  or  second-generation  Canadians,  the 
offspring  of  parents  who  emigrated  to  Canada  over   the  past  couple  of  decades.  (Chettleburgh, 2005, pp. 29-30)
