Claim: More than 30,000 children aged between 10 and 15 now say that they are in gangs.
Fact-check: How many children are in gangs? The data's not good enough to know - Full Fact
Verdict: we don't know the exact number, and it's difficult to get an accurate measure of this. in 2013/14, a survey found 0.9% of 10-15 year olds in england and wales said they were in a street gang, which implies around 30,000 children in england, but this should not be taken as exact.
