As the citywide homicide rate of gang-related shootings in South Los Angeles rate keeps climbing, we talk to gang experts and a spokesperson for one of the family's victims. Also, a recently released memoir describing gang life in South Central Los Angeles has stirred up controversy after it was discovered as a work of fiction. And we talk to award-winning novelist and distinguished English professor T.C. Boyle about the perceptions of sensationalized stories of struggle and the issue of plagiarism in the publishing industry.
