What's the best way to break the cycle of gang violence?

What's the best way to break the cycle of gang violence? The U.S. Attorney General and Secretary of Ed recently called for a national conversation on youth violence. We'll look at the "Ceasefire" project that's been implemented in Boston, Salinas, Stockton and Oakland. Can the threat of swift punishment, coupled with promise of job training and social services stop gang violence? And does it get at the root problems that drive young people to gangs?
