This Doesn't Seem Like a Particularly Effective Idea

Albuquerque wants to fight its graffiti problem by forcing those found guilty of gang-related activities to have their names and faces on a website, like sex offenders.

Except the two things aren't the same. Are the gangsters actually ashamed of what they are doing? Or will it be, as Duke City Fix claims, a "Gangster Hall of Fame?" I suspect the latter. But hey, if any city wants to have a Gangster Hall of Fame, it might as well be Albuquerque!
