A large majority in Parliament adopted the gang package presented by the government in September. To mention a few of the measures; restaurants and shops can film 100 meters out on public roads (extended TV surveillance – it is 30 meters today); knife possession and violence used to humiliate people’s dignity will be punished more severely; police should be able to use civilian agents and carry out wiretapping; it became illegal to recruit minors into gangs; and more focus should be placed on the siblings of gang members.
