The incoming Government has promised to come down hard on gangs.  

This comes after several years of increased illegal activity, driven by the arrival of Australian gangs in Aotearoa. 

Communities have expressed deep concerns, saying they feel intimidated, unsafe and concerned about being caught in the crossfire between opposing gangs.  

So what are National, Act and NZ First proposing? And more importantly, will any of the strategies actually work?

Today, Jared Savage, the author of two books on gangs and senior investigations writer at the NZ Herald, joins The Front Page for a discussion on whether the crackdown on gangs will make any difference.
