I need to write a profile on risk indicators for youths that could be invloved in gangs. How can I write this without looking like an actual paper, but more or less like a handout that is going to be given?

What evidence will you use to support your "profile"?

Why are you not wanting to write it as a essay? Anybody can make a list, whether it is accurate or not. Putting it in essay form, you get to support it, argue it, and present evidence.
Suggestion: Use a WANTED type flier....

You can draw a cartoon of a some young person or animal behind bars.

Then you can make a list of what brought them to this perdicament.

Maybe at the bottom, ask a question...
Do any of these fit YOU?
