Gang injunctions are controversial crime tool strategy that some people say should be illegal, and others say is a necessary last resort for communities plagued by violence. I co-produced this program, which takes us from the birthplace of gang injunctions in Los Angeles, to their newest use in London, England. Almost 30 years later, communities remain divided about the best way to address youth violence and crime.
This show, which aired on Making Contact in December 2011, received a Media For a Just Society Award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency.
