What is the best way to rid this country of Gangs.1. jail 2. education 3.Deportation or4. eradication.?

I would say its a combination of the above choices and of a few you did not list.

I think that with the laws in this country and the "freedoms" that we enjoy, It would be impossible to stop gangs. I do believe that if this country was not as free, that it would be ALOT easier to put a stop to gangs.

However it would cause other problems. So there is no easy answer.

1 education:

education is always the best thing. the younger the better too. not only is it easier but $$ its the best choice that the cost is justified by the results... an economist that won the Nobel peace prize gave a whole theory on it. smart guy what he said made a lot of sense. well if u spend money on education u will eventually stop the need for jail, deportation and eradication or at least drastically lower it. the reason why some of these kids are attracted to it is due to family issues and low education. well since family issues are too diverse and too private to handle or make better education is the next best thing. educate a sense of value, a sense of pride, a sense of how to deal with issues in a healthy way, especially teach kids that thru an education one can achieve a better status in life economically. education is the way to go, though it take time, patience and lots of $$ the effects are worth it.

None of the above.

Gangs are a resource and provide a useful function to the gang members - that resource is protection against a frightening world.

We need to enlist the help of the gangs to fight the real enemy - the poverty that keeps the gang members in a hopeless poverty cycle.

The gangs already have a hierarchy - we just need to point them in the right direction and replace killing of other gang members with competing against them.

It won't be easy, but it is possible to do this.

welll for knife crime i think the best way is to instil a curfew where everyone under the age of 18 has to be off the streets before 10pm and if they are caught out they get arrested and ordered to do community service after school etc.. they will soon learn their lesson, and anyone caught with a knife goes to prison for at least 6 months!
