"The Gang Tax" at Freakonomics Blog

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS

I recommend to you this post by Sudhir Venkatesh, guest blogging at the Freakonomics Blog.  As he describes it, he "called a few gang leaders in Chicago and asked them what the greatest obstacles to recruiting and retaining members are."  His interviewees offer suggestions about how to better prevent gang activity, using shaming punishments, corporal punishments, and taxes/fines.  The suggestions may not be, er, constitutional, but they're nevertheless interesting to read in the first-person.
