Street gangs have become a significant concern in several major Dutch cities, including Amsterdam, Utrecht, and especially Rotterdam. These gangs, often involved in illegal activities like drug trafficking, violent crime, and robberies, have a growing presence in urban areas. In Amsterdam and Utrecht, gang activity is typically concentrated in certain neighborhoods, with tensions rising between rival groups. However, Rotterdam stands out as a particularly troubled city, where gang violence, shootings, and turf wars over drug markets have become more common, the rise of these gangs has prompted both local and national authorities to step up efforts to combat organized crime and restore safety to these communities.
