Gang Activity appears rife on the island. 

Some concerning statistics about the gang activity on such a small island.  May 2009 - apparently:

• there are numerous (more than 10) gangs
• about half of the gangs are active
• the principle gang 'Parkside' is running riot
• about half of the gangs have been involved in gang related violent activity in recent months
• the police have over 200 intelligence reports concerning Parkside
• Police have identified 30 members of the Parkside gang and a similar number of associates
• of the main gangs, over 20 key members had been identified
• Over 80% of those incidents with locations associated, were in town.
• police have yet to act upon the information
