Full Disclosure Network® is releasing the first three Parts of an ongoing Cable TV Series providing an exposé of the failures and successes of gang prevention programs across the nation starting with the City of Los Angeles. Full Disclosure host Leslie Dutton interviews major players in previous L.A. Gang Wars and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's new "Gang Czar", L.A. Deputy Mayor Rev. Jeff Carr, who is implementing the Mayor's new $24 million gang strategy. A 10 minute video preview of the three part series can be viewed from this URL: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Programs/530.php

Featured in this ten minute preview are the following experts:

  • L.A. Deputy Mayor and "Gang Czar", Rev. Jeff Carr, who is planning to augment the current gang suppression effort by law enforcement with Mayor Villaraigosa's two prong strategy, prevention and intervention using "gang members can be redeemed."
  • Sgt. Richard Valdemar, a 32-year veteran of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and an International Gang specialist, who predicts that "the use of gang members to intervene during gang violence will not work."
  • David R. Hernandez, a long time Los Angeles civic activist, who says, "The City is either ignoring or concealing the all out race war between local gangs."

Also available on the Full Disclosure Network website is an eight minute Video News Blog discussion of who will decide which gang organizations will get city grants for the Mayor's new program. Watch here: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Blogs/65.php
