I'm fishing for opinions, here. I haven't personally given it thought, before.

All you need to see to be absolutely convinced of it is this graph (clearnet warning): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_incarceration_rate_timeline.gif
Who are those people being incarnated? Minorities (well, mostly minorities ) in gangs making money off drugs.
Sure there'd still be gangs around prostitution, people trafficking, ransom, and gambling, but from my experience in Australia it was far less lucrative for low level people so you had less gangs (less kids seeing people making $$$ from being in gangs via drugs back then).
