The inside story on guns and gangs in Sheffield

Reportage - 10:28
BBC - The inside story on guns and gangs in Sheffield: "It's about respect and earning money and with that comes power and perks. You get nice females attracted to the money and the power.'
Jason is 19 years old and grew up on different estates in Sheffield but he has always been involved with the postcode gangs.
School fights led to dealing drugs and carrying a knife.
'You feel powerful and invincible, like nothing can happen to you' he explains, pulling up his hood and looking round to check nobody is watching.
He is suspicious I am an undercover police officer and he will not give too many details.
Jason is not his real name but he is typical of the gang members I have met over the last three months.
Sheffield's gang problem isn't as bad as that in Manchester, Birmingham or London but there have been murders.
In the last eight years, ten people have lost their lives - gunned down or stabbed to death when gang rivalry has exploded into violent confrontation.
S3, S4, The Parson Cross Crew, Cok Bak Reload - just some of the names identifying gangs in Sheffield"
