Nature abhors a vacuum and especially those that cannot lift the weight of a five kilo bowling ball. In parallel with this phenomena is the manoeuvre of self-correction and "making things balance." As it would be the norm, high levels of gang themed violence in the news often flourish with the making of unemployment levels of a region.
A case in recent times is that of the drive-by shootings reported in various spots in Sydney's South West. An area often seen in its own community newspapers as having harder luck for the youths. Many of which form from non-English speaking backgrounds. Characteristics which match the profile of the reported perpetrators of the as mentioned drive-bys.
High levels of unemployment matched with frequent attacks on the lives of surrounding citizens is the only natural way of levelling the numbers. Numbers which seek to "self-correct" a population desperate for control in the latency. Unless, of course, there are agents within the community out to make sure these "acts" happen.
