Part 7/10:
5. Orlando, Florida
Known for its tourism appeal, Orlando reveals a darker reality in its inner neighborhoods. With over a hundred criminal organizations operating within the area, the dangers become apparent the moment one steps off tourist pathways. Gang activity has also been intertwined with a rising number of hate organizations, further complicating Orlando’s troubled narrative.
4. Jacksonville, Florida
Jacksonville is infamous for holding the record of the highest murder rates in Florida. While the variety of gangs operating in the city might not be as diverse as other cities, the propensity for violence is alarmingly high. Delinquency predominantly affects local youth, and social media contributes to the escalation of this troubling environment.
