Westminster Youth Offending: How We Can Help

Youth offenders who work alone, as well as through organised gangs, have become a big problem in the City of Westminster. In recent years, the Westminster Youth Offending team have had their hands full with such cases. As a result, we here at Stepping Out have had the opportunity to make a difference in the city, working closely with the Westminster Youth Offending team in the process.

Currently, Westminster are dealing with up to seven different gangs located within the borough, each with their own sub-sects. They range from:

  • Mozart (CFR)
  • Grey Days (GD)
  • Maida Vale Mob (VM)
  • Lisson Green Mandem (LGM)
  • Pimz Town
  • Brunel/Wessex Garden/Hallsfield Estate
  • China Town

This interactive map can be viewed to get an insight into the locations of these gangs in relation to one another, and in relation to the city of Westminster.
