Can the Mayor explain what measures he and the Metropolitan Police will utilise to identify and target those individuals, gangs and groups within London communities mainly responsible for, and primarily the victims of, the epidemic level of gun and knife crime in London. With respect to gun and knife crime does the Mayor understand that there are two phenomena related to the issue. The first involves drug related violence and homicide relating to territorial disputes between gangs, the second being the slaying of innocent people when these gangs move into relatively stable and peaceful areas?
