UMSL criminologist discusses local gang activity

Beth Huebner, associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, was interviewed April 1 on KTVI (Channel 2) about gang activity in St. Louis (see above).

“We’ve interviewed adults and juveniles in the lock up to ask them about gangs and guns in the city and the county,” Huebner told KTVI. “The gang problem is not unique to St. Louis, but I think the patterns and types of gangs we have in St. Louis are different than some gangs in LA or New York that you hear on the media.”

She also was interviewed live on the same topic March 29 on KTRS (550 AM) (see below).
