Gangs of Britain : Gangs have risen and fallen. They�ve moved from gambling into clubs and protection, smuggling and prostitution, clubs and protection. Today they make millions from full-scale drug importation. But is there a pattern to their criminality? In the 1920s a very different gang from the capital was controlling the streets of South London. Their leader, or so-called Queen, was Alice Diamond. Her gang of forty female thieves was the biggest shoplifting network ever seen in Britain. Eventually Diamond would lose control and bring about her own downfall. Gary and Martin Kemp investigate two very different gangs, from two very different eras in Britain�s capital city � each competing for the same South London turf � and how they both lost their patch.
