As well, if you look at alot of recent immigrant communities that are the source of some of this gang violence, there is probably a decreased trust/understanding of legal institutions such as the police.

As an anecdote, I've been involved with the support of a Burmese refugee family since their arrival in Canada about 16 months ago. It took them months before they would even go near a police officer in uniform. I still don't think they would have any notion to go to the police with any problems.
