My Lords, I am not sure that is necessarily an easy thing to prove. When someone has been shot in a particular gang, we may know that one of that gang’s members is going back to the area where the other gang is, and that we have a history of people shooting each other. Yet trying to prove that threat of violence would, I believe, be extremely difficult in our courts.
