The police fear that crime rates are going to sky rocket this Christmas following the riots. The police are prepared for a steep increase in robberies, rather worrying! In the UK, the cities which account for 65% of firearm homicides are London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool. Glasgow however, is the true home of gangs in the UK, having 6 times as many teenage gangs as London does though London has ten times the population! At the beginning of the 20th century, the cities of Bradford, Leeds, Bristol, and Nottingham all commanded the headlines with stories pertaining to street gangs. Sheffield also commanded many headlines due to the city’s long history of gangs.

118 arrests were carried out in a major offensive against gun crime by gangs in Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and London on November 28th 2007. Over 1,000 police officers were involved in raids that were carried out against not just gun crime, but drugs, prostitution and other crimes. Britain’s street gangs are increasingly becoming a cultural transmission of America’s Crips and Bloods, obvious in their hand signs and graffiti tags.
