Gangs in Sydney Wiki
There has been youth gangs in Sydney since the 1800s. Every suburb has a youth gang that 'controls' it, however they are usually only pawns for big gangs within Sydney. Many youth gangs share photos of them online (Instagram, Facebook, etc) showing off their wealth. Youth Gangs during the 90s were notorious for crimes such as home-invasion, murder, arson, and robbery. However, Youth Gangs are not as extreme as they were in the 90s and now only commit petty crimes such as robbery, shoplifting and assault. This is not to say that no one has died as a result of youth gangs in the 21st century, it is merely just to show that youth gangs are not as extreme as it was.
