The communities themselves have to become strongly anti-gang, reach out to law enforcement pledging to finger gang members. The police are "handcuffed" not only by political correctness, but by Miranda and other mandates. The people who were meant to be protected by the restrictions on crime investigations are the ones hurt worst by them.

Spoken like a person who has never feared the retaliatory murder of oneself, and/or their family.

True enough. What do I know? I'm just giving an opinion.

The identities of informants, obviously, have to be protected. The bottom line is - the gangs have to be crushed. It is not possible without the people in the neighborhoods somehow lessening their obstruction and distrust.
