Girl Gangs
Women's role in gang culture and why it is underestimated

A girl was stabbed to death last week in Croydon after an argument with girls from a female gang. This comes after an increase in reported incidents of girls’ involvement in gang violence. Jenni will be looking at the roles women play in gang culture and why their role has been underestimated until now with Susannah Hancock, London Regional Manager for the Youth Justice Board and Zievrina Wilson, from Kids Company.
