Abstract
Asks if media coverage given to young people in gangs is justified and whether the United Kingdom experience can be compared with America. Reports that despite media headlines, statistics from the 'British Crime Survey' show that crime committed by people aged 16 and over has fallen. Argues that social factors have contributed to the American situation. Concludes that fears about gun crime and young people in the UK are unjustified although there are lessons to be learnt from the American experience.
