On Wednesday, LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa named Jeff Carr as the city's new gang czar. Carr is an evangelical minister who has spent most of his career developing youth programs in some of LA's poorest neighborhoods. He will coordinate Villaraigosa's anti-gang strategy, unveiled in April, that would establish eight "gang reduction zones" throughout the city and evaluate the city's 23 existing gang prevention and intervention programs. Ted talks with Jeff Carr about his vision for reducing gang activity in Los Angeles.
