The 2019 Cumberland Lodge Police Conference explores the attraction of gangs, in order to understand and police them more effectively, and to identify best practice in early intervention and prevention strategies relating to criminal activity (gang crime). It takes a cross-sector, multi-agency approach to exploring the complexities of gang culture in the UK today.
We are grateful to our freelance Research Associate, Dr Robert McLean, for researching and preparing this briefing document, which is designed to help participants prepare for the conference discussions. We also hope to improve public awareness and understanding of gang culture and identities in Britain today.
