Bandenbekämpfung

Bandenbekämpfung is a German term that means ‘combating gangs’. When we say gangs, we mean groups of people who come together and do bad things like stealing, hurting others or damaging property.

Sometimes, gangs can be very dangerous and cause harm to people in their communities. So, the police and the government work together to stop the gangs from doing bad things. They do this by using lots of different methods like patrols, surveillance, and undercover work to catch the people who are doing bad things.

The police also try to help people who might be vulnerable to gang activity, by providing support and guidance to prevent them from getting involved.

So, basically, bandenbekämpfung means stopping gangs from hurting other people and making sure everyone in the community stays safe.
