The response that can reduce the likelihood of someone joining a gang is practicing coping skills. This can help individuals handle stress and negative influences more effectively, reducing the likelihood of seeking out gang involvement as an escape or a means of belonging. The other options (using drugs or alcohol, skipping school, and avoiding making friends) can increase the likelihood of gang involvement rather than decrease it.
