The New Faces of Gangs in Chicago
Clip: 2/28/2013 | 4m 21s
We talk the new culture of gangs with community members on tonight's special show.
The structure of Chicago gangs isn't what it used to be. The hierarchical organization of the past is largely gone, replaced by many smaller and fractured groups. We talk to three men with experience in dealing with gangs who give us their view of why young people belong to gangs and carry out violence.
