More than half of the 2,148 Cambodian teens and youths arrested last year for “inciting chaos and social disorder,” belonged to gangs, according to a report released by the Interior Ministry that said the number was down 9 percent from 2014.

It classified 1,368 of the teens and youths arrested as “gangsters,” saying 719 of them were charged in court and the rest were “re-educated” and sent back home. The report said that the teens and youths arrested belonged to 407 different gangs.
