Brooklyn was once the most ghetto city in New York.
At present, although the environment had improved to a certain extent, it was relatively still the most chaotic and the worst area in New York.

Many young people there carried a gun everywhere and were considered to start serving in a gang at the age of twelve or thirteen year
