It may depend where you live and the penetration of the particular gangs in that area, but if the public is comfortable that gang membership is actually not associated with criminal activity and level, or maybe even cause a drop in (reported) criminal activity, then maybe we should leave them alone. It may also avoid examining the uncomfortable questions as to whether deprivation or social inequalities are some of the drivers behind gang membership increases.
