Colorado’s gang activity is homegrown, not a result of Venezuelan immigration. That’s the verdict from Interim Director for the Prevention Science Program and Professor of Sociology at CU Boulder, David Pyrooz. Pyrooz studies gangs, gun violence and prison activity. He sat down with Denver7 News’ Angelika Albaladejo to shed light on Colorado’s gang violence, explaining that gangs have a long history in the United States.
