As a Kiwi now living in Finland for the past 14 years, i found this very hard. I grew up in Huntly, where there were a lot of gangs. Being white and having a lot of Maori friends still to this day, there were many who went to gangs. Most days I talk to my family still living there, and how much crime there is makes me sad. I remember that kiwi's were good people, and when I was home few years ago. It didn't feel the same, the way people talk to each other. My parents always say you should move back to NZ, and I'm like why look at what NZ has become. Copy cats of the US, why people think gangs are cool and a way of life. Where are the days of family and friends, fishing and surfing etc... I wish people could be kind to one another, as i miss NZ as it is a beautiful country. It has a lot going for it.

Some areas might have gone down the drain but most of New Zealand is still a great place to live. Granted, its expensive to live basically anywhere except those shit towns (and there too in some cases), but if you can afford it NZ still has a lot to offer. Possibly more now that tech has connected us to the rest of the world

The people going into gangs were often a part of a chain of intergenerational trauma (grandad abused dad, dad abused son, son will abuse his son) or the pure inadequacy of the state houses, they took kids from family and cycled them through a bunch of abusive houses. All this intergenerational abuse stems back to the abuse our indigenous people (maori, pacifika) endured during the extreme racism period the Europeans instigated. The generation that had to suffer from the racism had so much anger, they took it out on their families and started the chain of abuse. There was a time youd get a hiding in schools for speaking maori, there were the dawn raids taking kids and parents from there homes for no reason. Had the europeans been more inclusive back then we wouldnt have so many indigenous holding onto the anger that was passed down to them. The mental illnesses these gang members suffer from are all they know, and you cant function in this society properly with all this anger and mental issues. But you still need brothers and money and the gangs are our best hope of being able to do this.

@@hinglemcringledoo4837 It might have a part to play, but not a huge one. Much of it is the strong family connection that is part of maori and pacifica culture (much more so than any pakeha in my experience), aswell as poverty and large families/ number of kids that results in their disproportionately high representation in gangs. Chains of abuse do occur but you really can't say that family violence today is a result of racism 200 years ago. Look around the world and you'll see that gang membership is much more strongly correlated to poverty rather than racism. Is there a correlation between racism and poverty? Yes but its not the only factor

@@moa-wg3bo The racism was occuring in the 50s to 70s, not 200 years ago, thats only roughly 3 generations of traumatised families, and i agree strong family connections are huge in our cultures, and when our families are broken the way they are, the ones with the broken families are the ones seeking a new familial connection which the gangs offer. I grew up alongside the mob and their origin stories are mostly the same and often begins with the same stories of our grandparents or great grand parents enduring extreme racism and cultural suppression. Europeans in our country have forgotten what they did to us not so long ago yet we still suffer from those echoes of pain, and theyre surprised we are the way we are. Im third gen kuki in nz and my dad tells me about the shit his grandad had to survive, he couldnt get a job cos the europeans didnt want a brown employee, they struggled to get food for the family and we by law werent allowed to speak our native tounge. If you dont come from these families its hard to see, you only see the poverty and violence and pin that as the main cause. I myself struggled for years to hold a job because of all the trauma ive seen and experienced growing up, it changes the kind of person you are and you feel so different from everyone else because while others around you are thriving, youre struggling to operate as a functional member of society. And the only people you feel you can relate to are the people like you whove grown in the same environments, and most of them are in the gangs or prison. Changing how you think and perceive the world is extremely difficult as the way our brains work dont fit well in our society. And unfortunately most of our men dont even realise theyre as broken as they are, theyre just doing what theyve always done, survive.

You cannot deny that the economy has diminished employment, and what is ironic social welfare groups are huge employers, why? because we allowed our industries to move offshore and we buy their product still at phenomenal prices.I first visited the city of Wellington and Auckland in the 70s and saw homeless , now it is common every where. The struggles by low wages and high prices has created a vacuum which recruitment by gangs know no bounds. The irony is that gangs profit at every level from those who have become the vulnerable.

I remember watching this a few years ago. Interesting to revisit it, more than a decade later and see some of the predictions they made then coming to fruition now. Significant increase in gang membership, huge profits continuing to be made in the drug industry, meth use still rife in the community. And now the added, unforeseen factor of Aussie deportees returning here and setting up shop. I found some of the money stealing crip gang on facebook, they have families now but the babies are all wearing blue haha.

Its a big problem in the poverty stricken parts of the country and in some towns out more rural, but in the major cities hardly. Certainly no worse than anywhere else thats for certain.
