It's hard to do without imposing on someone's rights as a human. Honestly the best way to deal with gangs is to take away the things that give them funding. The government starts regulating drugs and prostitution and what funds the gangs? Bake sales?

It's not ideal but if the people are going to sit there and bitch about drugs and stuff and push it all underground, prepare to deal with the gang violence that comes with it.
