Gangs in Pinal county, who knew?

Apparently the gang problem in Arizona is not limited to Maricopa county. I have written previously about the graffiti and gang problems in Central Phoenix. I find it surprising that gangs are in fairly rural parts of Pinal county. Things are getting so bad in central Phoenix that my wife and I will probably move to a safer (and far less interesting) part of Phoenix soon. It really is unfortunate that we cannot do a better job on crime prevention.
