Suppose I had the contract to take over security for a ghetto.
First thing I would do is distribute really cheap high quality cannabis, lots of it, everywhere.In the schools, on the streets, in the churches. A nice sativa, something to make people contemplate eternal verities. I believe leaders in those areas would see that it was good for their people, especially if I gave them a cut of the proceeds.
The second thing I would do is start arming everyone, training them to take care of themselves around firearms and with firearms.** A lot of training, with games and role-play and plays that teach the attitude of tolerance you need to carry a firearm, how to handle different kind of situations when armed, big emphasis on cleverly diffusing and defusing. How to be nice folks and get along with armed people without anyone pulling out a gun every day or so. How polite and restrained and tolerant armed societies need to be to work well. Retraining the social workers to do this will be fun.A Modern Approach To Security | thinkpatriot

Your Say
Ghetto population density must be reduced. Just give them all guns and run like hell.

Arming the barbarians isn't wise.
No one ever socialized the mongols, the Huns, the vandals, the Irish or the Scots. They drink and fight and like it.
The inhabitants of the ghetto are gangbangers. Isolate them or kill them.

Give them an ultimatum, you know - kinda like the rest of us already live under - clean up your act, or get the hell out. In 30 days we'll come back here and make that decision for you if you haven't made it already.
Coddling ne'er do wells encourages them to be worse than they already are.
Punishment encourages good behavior.
Banishment eliminates bad behavior.

I'd rather not use pot, but really high grade heroin. and I'd hand out the guns without any training.
Deaths by O.D. and gunfire would cull the herds of the more stupid ones. Then I'd bring in the D-10 Cats and back hoes, start knocking down buildings.
To those remaining I'd provide a free one-way ticket to Africa, any country there.
Let them get back to their genetic roots.

Seems like the proposal isn't much different from what drug dealers are already doing.
