The Hub's Culture of Witness Intimidation

The recent spike in shootings in Boston is focusing attention on a culture of witness intimidation that stymies investigations and fuels a cycle of violence. Police and community leaders say the problem goes deeper than the much-publicized "Stop Snitching" t-shirts and they're calling for change. Martha Bebinger reports on the pattern of silence and retaliatory violence.
