This piece has aired on NPR, so you can feel confident in it's quality. It focuses on the California gang database -- the biggest of it's type in the country -- and how it may be doing as much harm to some innocent youths as it is doing good in putting a stop to gang activity. If you are doing a gang story, or your community is facing these issues, this story will fit (have to chop the lead-in). It will fit best to be Side B to a story where Side A is "Lets build a gang database like California did."
