Report says Ohio fails to stop youth prison gangs (Columbus, OH)

COLUMBUS - Efforts to stop gang violence in Ohio's youth prisons are ineffective and three facilities remain unacceptably dangerous places for young people, according to a new report.

While the Department of Youth Services has tried to fix the problem, the agency is also guilty of "a widespread and somewhat misguided belief that gang violence may no longer be a significant problem," the report released late Wednesday said.

"The time has come for a different approach to gang…

Rapper '40 Glocc's' image considered in Colton gang injunction trial

Lawrence White's image as street-hardened rapper has served him well, but it remains a point of contention in the trial to determine his inclusion in a gang injunction in his native Colton.

In closing briefs filed late last month, the San Bernardino County district attorney's office argues that White -- as "40 Glocc" -- consistently flaunts his membership in Colton City Crips, supporting police and…

'Family values' of Mexico drug gang

They decapitate, torture, and extort. Then they pray, and donate to charity.

Mexican drug gangs have expanded their activities in the US with heroin production doubling in 2008, the US justice department says in a report.

Despite US funding for the war on drugs, trade in marijuana, ecstasy and methamphetamine also grew, the National Drug Threat Assessment said.
