The changing face of gangs and organised crime - are the Govt's policies working?
There are more than 9,000 gang members in New Zealand, and thousands more associates.
The coalition government from the get-go promised a crackdown on gangs – they've banned gang insignia in public, handed police greater powers, and created laws to disrupt get-togethers. But, is that all enough?
Jared Savage has been a journalist at the NZ Herald for about 20 years, with a focus on organised crime.
His latest book, Underworld, is the third in a series of he’s released since 2020 – and the latest instalment delves deeper into our country’s dark underbelly of gangs, guns, drugs, and money – lots and lots of money.
Today on The Front Page, Savage joins us to discuss the rising threat of organised crime in New Zealand.
