A horrific murder case this week highlighted on the violence and closed world of English gangland: but these are a new generation of villains - the thugs from suburbia
Article Abstract:
The counties of Kent, Essex, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex and Hertfordshire, England, have been greatly affected by the fact that professional criminals who once lived in the centre of London, England, are now moving out to more suburban areas. They have brought with them a culture of crime and corruption which has embraced local gangs. These counties have also seen a dramatic increase in the importation of drugs. This trend has been highlighted by the Old Bailey trial of the men accused of murdering three drug dealers in Essex, England.
