A defining characteristic of most street gangs, whether low level or more sophisticated, is a high propensity for violence. Intimidation, assaults or homicides are an integral component of their gang and personal interactions. Street gangs exist and are criminally active across Canada and are considered significant enforcement threats in all regions except the Atlantic provinces.

OBS

The term "gang" is not always a synonym of "street gang".

DEF

Groupe de jeunes avec une structure plus ou moins organisée possédant un signe et un territoire distinctifs et dont les membres vivant dans un mode de vie délinquant sont impliqués dans des activités criminelles et violentes [à] des fins économiques, de pouvoir et/ou de protection.

CONT

Le mot «rue» dans l'expression «gang de rue» n'est pas accessoire : la rue joue un rôle important dans la nature des activités de ces groupes. La culture des gangs de rue est centrée sur l'idée d'occuper la voie publique et de s'y conduire comme ils le désirent. Ainsi, les groupes chez lesquels on ne retrouve pas cette culture de rue ne sont pas à proprement parler des «gangs de rue».

OBS

Les termes «gang» et «bande» ne sont pas toujours synonymes dans tous les contextes.

Status of Women Canada, by Kathleen A. Lahey(November 2005).

Condition féminine Canada, par Kathleen A. Lahey, (Novembre 2005).

Recent media reports have painted a relentlessly gloomy picture of the status of AIDS drug development. Yet much useful information on treatment emerged at the 10th International Conference on AIDS in Yokohama, Japan(August 7-12, 1994). Encouraging treatment developments presented in Yokohama include the following : Recombinant human growth hormone therapy significantly increases weight gain as represented by fat-free lean body mass among people with AIDS-related wasting. AZT treatment dramatically reduces the rate of HIV transmission from mother to infant. Acyclovir co-treatment with anti-HIV therapy significantly increases survival time among people with AIDS. Oral ganciclovir appears to be an effective primary prophylaxis for cytomegalovirus disease. The protease inhibitor drug saquinavir reduces viral load and increases CD4 cell counts significantly more when used in a triple combination with AZT and ddC compared to 2 double combinations(AZT plus ddC or saquinavir plus AZT). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and branched chain DNA(bDNA) testing for measuring HIV load is expected to become a major new tool to help guide individual treatment decisions and to evaluate anti-HIV therapies in clinical studies.
