Hey kiddo! So, do you know what a gang is? No worries, I'll explain it to you. A gang is a group of people who hang out together and do things that may not be allowed or legal. Sometimes they can cause trouble and make life difficult for other people.
In New Zealand, there are some gangs that have been around for a long time. They have different names like Mongrel Mob, Black Power, and Head Hunters. These gangs can be quite dangerous and you should stay away from them. They like to wear certain clothes and symbols, and some of them have tattoos to show that they are part of the gang.
Some people join gangs because they think it's cool or important to belong to a group. Others might join because they feel like they need protection or help. But being part of a gang can be dangerous and lead to problems with the law.
The New Zealand government doesn't like gangs very much, so they have laws to try and stop them from doing bad things. The police work hard to make sure that gangs don't hurt people or break the law.
So, in summary kiddo, gangs in New Zealand are groups of people who do bad things and can be dangerous. It's best to stay away from them and if you see anything suspicious, tell a grown-up or the police.
