Gang Prevention Conference Held In Silver Spring

A week-long conference, which involves 300 local and national gang experts, elected officials and law enforcement officers, is meeting in Silver Spring to discuss the prevention and elimination of gangs in the Washington region.

Those assembled also talked about some of the trends they've been observing.
Diverging from their usual posts in area neighborhoods, local gang members are spending more time recruiting and meeting in city centers. They're also increasingly using social media to gain new members and antagonize rival groups.

Here we go again , lets have a paid conference and form groups to talk about gangs.
Nothing will be done until we punish the crimanls and install the death penalty .
What a bunch of BS.
