Why Gangs Humiliate Teenage Boys to Recruit Them – And How Therapy Can Help
Why Gangs Humiliate Boys — And How Male Minds Counselling Can Help
An estimated 27,000 children in England are involved with gangs, many recruited as young as nine. But what’s less understood is the role of humiliation in that process. This blog explores the disturbing tactics gangs use to break boys down — from public beatings to sexual violence — and how these methods destroy identity, isolate them from loved ones, and trap them in cycles of trauma and control. At Male Minds Counselling, we understand these wounds. This post sheds light on the dark psychology behind gang recruitment — and how we help boys and men reclaim dignity, heal shame, and rebuild their lives from the inside out.
