Investigators also examined the relationships\r\namong gangs, cocaine trafficking, and increasing levels of violence.\r\nThey attempted to determine the effects of increased gang involvement\r\nin cocaine distribution in terms of the location of an incident, the\r\ndemographic profiles of suspects, and the level of firearm use. They\r\nalso looked at issues such as whether the connection between gangs and\r\ncocaine trafficking yielded more drug-related violence, how the\r\nconnection between gangs and cocaine trafficking affected police\r\ninvestigative processes such as intra-organizational communication and\r\nthe use of special enforcement technologies, what kinds of working\r\nrelationships were established between narcotics units and gang\r\ncontrol units, and what the characteristics were of the rock\r\ntrafficking and rock house technologies of the dealers.
