Yes!!! I have always thought of gangs like governments! But your detailed analysis here blew me away! I will say that you're leaving off another solution... force people to use the government for services, even when it's unfair. Accomplish this by stirring up a public movement to crack down on crime. The key here is public support. If the people demand crime to be lessened, then the police cannot be as corrupt without risking their jobs. I know this seems old fashioned, and I know that there are flaws with this approach. But the main issue here is that this approach has not been as thoroughly attempted as it should have been. People then dismiss it as an option...
