"The Tackling Gangs Action Programme (TGAP) was a six-month initiative, which was announced in September 2007 to target and reduce youth violence, particularly gang-related firearm offences. An additional £1.5 million was allocated to support this work in four cities in England and Wales. The work was conceived against of a backdrop of a number of high-profile fatal incidents involving young people and gangs, and the programme is part of on-going work to tackle this serious problem."
