I think it’s highly unlikely that people who have rejected outright the means by which civil society settles disputes will suddenly embrace them if you take away their mechanism for making an income. I’d expect the opposite reaction, actually, and would imagine a doubling down. In fairness to your argument, I don’t think gang violence is a problem that can be reduced to zero, and think that there’s probably a low level equilibrium point that’s optimal for both parties (civil and non-civil society, for lack of better terms). So I’m probably not the audience for a total libertarian solution to the issue.
