Jarrod Gilbert: Canterbury University Sociology Professor says the Comancheros crackdown won't be the end of the drug trade
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Un pódcast de Newstalk ZB - Miercoles
Justice is set to be served to nearly every member of the Comancheros motorcycle gang, but that won't be the end of New Zealand's drug trade. A three year police operation has resulted in 137 charges being laid. Canterbury University sociology professor Jarrod Gilbert says it's decimated the Comancheros, and sends a message that any high profile organised crime group has a large target on their back. But he says we can't expect this to significantly disrupt drug trade long term - as supply will just move to meet demand and the void will be filled.
