MANCHESTER MULTI AGENCY GANG SRATEGY |
The Manchester Multi-Agency Gang Strategy
(MMAGS), which was introduced in 2001, remains the UK’s only
Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) team working
solely to tackle the problems of street gangs involved in firearms
use.
The principal message behind MMAGS is that these problems cannot
be dealt with by agencies on their own, and that multi-agency co-operation
is needed to reduce the incidence of death and injury through gang
and gun crime in the Manchester City area.
MMAGS works to:
- Provide support to victims, witnesses, young people and families
who are most vulnerable.
- Rehabilitate those convicted of gun crime and gang involved
offending.
- Present young people with opportunities in education and
employment as positive alternatives to gun and gang crime.
- Enforce the law through multi-agency targeted action, to
secure convictions and deter people from gang and gun crime.
- Reduce the impact of gun crime and gang related activities
on the community.
- Create an environment for commercial investment in the rehabilitation
process.
