UK riots: David Cameron turns spotlight on tackling gang culture

Prime Minister David Cameron said today he wanted to build on the success of programmes to tackle gang culture like the task force used by Strathclyde Police.
Gang culture - and its associations with violence and serious organised crime - has been a blight on Glasgow's poorer neighbourhoods for decades.
In 2008, a Centre for Social Justice report found the city was home to more than 170 gangs, more than the number estimated to be operating in London at that time.
