Gang culture

of Great Britain, with the weapon and the crime must be addressed so that the children of struggling families are still in the womb, Iain Duncan Smith, Work and Pensions secretary, said Thursday it lost what is likely to be a major report on youth violence prepared after the riots of the summer.

The report, prepared by Duncan Smith and the Home Secretary, Theresa May, will combine the proposals for better parenting with tough measures to deglamorise gang membership, including convictions for crimes more accurate if the author is a member of a gang known.

Duncan Smith was speaking at a lecture by Karyn McCluskey, co-head of the unit to reduce violence in Scotland, established within Strathclyde Police, and Andrew Ward, responsible for the Merseyside Matrix unit, responsible for the fight against crime gangs and weapons. The two forces have reduced gang crime in the last four years by an approach that leads to health visitors, social services, schools and training law enforcement. In Merseyside, the accent was so strong that the bombs were placed outside the police car in retaliation.

The work of the two forces in the fight against gangs that form the heart of the report, Duncan Smith said.

Duncan Smith said the solution lies in early intervention for families with identification problems, male role models in schools, a requirement for politicians to admit they have a gang problem and the implementation of disrupting the lives of gang leaders. It also pushes for the Ministry of Health to continue to cooperate with other organizations because health visitors are often among the officials a few that can pass through the doors of some of the families most in difficulty.

Duncan Smith said. "I speak to intervene when a child is conceived, even when children are born we are talking about - half of them are unable to speak, can not form sentences, have no sense of empathy, that can not share their toys in the school, see their mothers are regularly beaten and sexually abused.

• "The question is, what their children are at risk and the child match the available programs we know work.
• "Gangs are the epicenter of the problems we face. They are the result of all this social breakdown, and are also the same engine.

"Children do not cross the postcode areas of work because they think may be stabbed. You will get kids armed with knives at school who are not gang members, so it's a like a knife safety. You get massive levels of violence against women is the untold story -.. Gang attacks on women who treat women merely as tools for men to use "

Duncan Smith said that the solution lies in additional public spending, but better cooperation between agencies. "There are a lot of money spent on families and farms, but money alone will solve dysfunctional short-term problems."

called for stiffer penalties for gang membership, says Ward. "We took a look to the U.S., where you can turn to see that someone is part of a band
