The rehab program must contain the following:
1) Civic, financing, history and social justice education.
A strong understanding of these can help the patient create wealth legally. This will potentially decrease violence amongst rival gangs. If the patient is taught different ways to raise wealth he no longer has to solely depend on the one's such as stealing and drug selling. The teaching of history should not be focused in US history or what we call "US history" but more in gang affiliation. Why we're gangs created? Who was Stanley Tookie Williams III? Why we're rival gangs created? Civic education will teach them the law and therefore they will be more aware of their rights and will reduce the abuse of power from cops, for example, being pulled over an officer asks you to open up your trunk and you refuse to do so. You clarify to the officer that it's a violation to your fourth amendment and you offer him full cooperation if and only if he or she has a warrant at hand. In any given situation like that they can use that to their advantage, sadly, this may not reduce police brutality but it can however raise awareness of our constitutional rights. The teaching of social justice will allow them to find out the inbalance in power, who the real enemie is , etc.
