Volunteer doctors outline the shapes of gang tattoos on the skin of former gang members with a green laser, working to erase the tattoos and help the ex-gang members transition out of the gangs and into society. Free laser tattoo removal is only one of the many programs offered by Homeboy Industries, a non-profit organization focused on gang intervention. UCLA is currently doing a scientific study on how to evaluate and measure Homeboy Industries’ level of success in changing the lives of gang members.

Great to see the use of technology for the common good. I would like to see more of these programs across the US.
