Despite millions in federal spending aimed at curbing gun and gang violence, Canadians report a significant rise in gang-related crime, with many personally affected by it, according to new research by the Department of Public Safety.
“One in five Canadians report they or someone close to them has been affected by gang-related violence,” stated the report Guns And Gangs Awareness Campaign. Additionally, 70% of respondents agreed that Canada has a growing gang violence problem.
