Young immigrants from violent and war-torn countries are fuelling mayhem and murder on London's streets, according to a new report.
Research from Scotland Yard says increasing numbers of youths with significant post-traumatic stress are having a negative impact in the city.

There are currently 171 street gangs operating in London says the report.

The findings are due to be presented to the Metropolitan Police Authority later this week.

"There is an indication from both police intelligence and the voluntary sector addressing gang criminality, that there is an increase in young people with significant post-traumatic stress resulting from witnessing and being involved in significant violent situations prior to arrival in the UK," it states.

"These young people appear to have a disproportionate negative impact on their peer groups."

I would be most surprised if the conclusions come to by the
Metropolitan Police Authorities is correct.Rather than coming from traumatised expirences in other countries it would appear most of
the violence comes from those born and raised in U.K maybe this fact
is harder for the Police Authorities to accept.
