Jordan Herewini was just 16 when he was run down during a tit-for-tat battle between rival gangs - the Mongrel Mob and the Tribesmen.

Since then Herewini’s home town, Murupara, has put a rahui, a ban, on gang violence. But has it worked or would it be more effective simply to ban gang patches?

60 Minutes reporter Sarah Hall explores the resurgence of gang violence in small town New Zealand.

The final comment is right. There absolutely will be "no more Jordans". He was unique. He was my beautiful and only boy.
Just a thought though - what about Kaine?

The photo above is NOT my son Jordan. Misleading. He was actually standing to the side of these two boys and he was not wearing a yellow scarf. Also, Jordan was not run down in a tit-for-tat battle between rival gangs - although on the surface it could have looked that way. Anyone who attended the trial for Jordan's murder would see that it was about the revenge of largely one mongrel mob member (who of course had the back-up of his idiotic gang) against those who had beaten him up and stolen his truck. Two of these people were Jordan's older half-brothers. They were not tribesman. Shades of grey don't make for a good story I guess.
