Can you tell me the reason for the gang problem that exists in poor areas of the US?
<|assistant|>
The gang problem that exists in some poor areas of the United States is mainly due to limited job and educational opportunities, a lack of community services and role models, feelings of hopelessness, and the attractiveness of gangs due to their sense of belonging and status they offer.
