USA. This victim was beaten and tortured before he was shot in the head, stuffed in a 55-gal drum, and dumped. Torture is a severe form of violence and is universally condemned as a violation of human rights. In areas where gang violence is prevalent, it often intersects with other social issues, such as poverty, drug abuse, and community breakdown. Efforts to combat gang violence typically involve a comprehensive approach, including law enforcement, community engagement, and addressing the underlying social and economic factors that contribute to gang activities.
