… We don’t want to be in a position … where we just pick up shell casings at the next scene,” Satterberg said, calling the $1.4 million package “a smart expenditure of our funds” to quickly respond to the “simmering tension” that threatens to erupt in more gang violence.
The Sheriff’s Office estimates there are 140 criminal street gangs with more than 10,000 members in King County. Although overall crime has decreased in recent years, gang-related crime has increased 165 percent since 2005.
Satterberg’s office has seen an increase in gang-related violence over the past three years. There were a total of 29 gang-related homicides in 2008 and 2009, plus 200 reported gang-related shootings during that same period.
Gangs also are involved in prostitution rings, narcotics trafficking and various property crimes, such as burglaries and car thefts.

OLYMPIA, Wash.– Attorneys general in 45 states are asking a classified ads website to explain how it handles postings for adult services.
The attorneys general said in a letter to Backpage.com on Wednesday that hundreds of ads on the website are for prostitution. The letter says the site attracts people who seek to exploit minors.
Washington attorney general, Rob McKenna, explained in a press conference held Wednesday morning that his office and two other attorneys general have found hundreds of examples of ads on Backpage.com that are clearly for illegal services.  Just last week, an investigator from Seattle’s Vice and High Risk Victims Unit said they found a 16-year-old posting a sex ad on a public library computer.

Attorney General Rob McKenna on Wednesday said he and 45 of his colleagues nationwide have sent a letter to Backpage.com, telling the Village Voice Media website that police have said is a an accelerant of underage prostitution to “put up or shut up” and prove that it’s taking active efforts to fight sex trafficking.
“Let’s be clear about this, prostitution is a form of human trafficking, a form of human slavery,” McKenna said at a news conference.
Previously the mayors of Tacoma, Spokane, Bellingham, Shoreline, Pullman and three other Washington cities backed Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn’s speaking out against Backpage.com.
In a statement, McGinn said, thanked McKenna and the other attorneys general. “Today’s announcement by 46 attorneys general is further evidence of the broad and deep public desire for Village Voice Media to protect our children and change its practices,” he said.
…
“It does not require forensic training to understand that these advertisements are for prostitution,” the attorneys general wrote in their letter.

Surveillance video filmed by an undercover Edmonds detective shows a customer placing money inside a barista’s bra at Java Juggs in South Everett, April 21, 2011.

EVERETT, Wash. — Undercover police surveillance video released Thursday shows baristas exposing themselves and putting on early morning strip shows to more than a dozen paying customers at a coffee stand near South Everett.
A months-long investigation was launched late last year after Edmonds police received several complaints about baristas exposing themselves to customers at Java Juggs espresso stands in Snohomish County.
Company owner Carmela Panico is accused of prostitution and one count of permitting prostitution for what detectives uncovered at one of the coffee stands in Edmonds.
But last week, prosecutors filed a new charge of lewd conduct against Panico and co-worker Krystal Wagner for what detectives found during an undercover investigation at one of the coffee stands in unincorporated Snohomish County near South Everett.

After nine months of investigating a drive-thru espresso stand in Seattle accused of operating as a fully-nude strip club, the police have released this video of the “hot” and “steamy” action at Java Juggs. 
The grainy footage shows an older dude leaning out of his car to vigorously rub the ass of a barista. She pulls no shots of espresso, though she does motorboat the driver. He places an unknown sum of money in her cleavage; she smiles a lot, and occasionally moves her breasts around with her hands.
She’s clothed the entire time, leading us to believe that the only real outcome of this video is that the dude in the ball cap will be sufficiently shamed into either going to a real strip club (might we suggest this one?), or putting internet porn to more active use.

Lt. Hayes also believes that the problem stems from lack of positive role models. For William Lowe, a lot of the responsibility goes back into roots, churches and individual homes. Somewhere along the way weve gone away from basics and home training. We have to get back to that, says Lowe.
According to Bruce Knutson, the Director of Juvenile Court Services, many kids become involved with gangs because they dont have much hope, or many positive role models to emulate. As a result, he says, they turn to whatever exists within the community that can help them belong, which is usually gang involvement.
Because of the bastardization of blackness, according to Evans, the youth see being Black in terms of being a gangster, pimp or player, which in turn leads to the idolizing of a gang lifestyle.
Abdulalim also recognizes this, and agrees that some young people have skewed priorities. I fault a lot of rappers, all they talk about now is money, women and pimping, says Abdulalim.

Baristas charged for showing breasts
Published: Aug. 25, 2011 at 9:29 PM
EDMONDS, Wash., Aug. 25 (UPI) — A Washington woman who police say operates a drive-thru coffee shop with a stripper pole has been charged with lewd conduct, police say.
Carmela Panico, 49, along with six of her baristas, were charged by Snohomish County prosecutors on Wednesday for doing sexually explicit dances at the coffee stand Java Jugs, Seattlepi.com reported.
The Edmonds Police Department investigation of the stand, which went on for months, included undercover work and surveillance. The indictment states a 9 hour surveillance video shows Panico and another barista doing pole dances for tipping customers — including flashing their breasts and letting customers touch them.
An undercover officer, identified as “Detective Frausto,” reported that he paid $20 for coffee that came with a pole dance from an unidentified employee.
