3.Congress finds that—
(1)violent crime and
drug trafficking are pervasive problems at the national, State, and local
level;
(2)according to
recent Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reports, violent crime in
the United States is on the rise, with a 2.5 percent increase in violent crime
in 2005 (the largest increase in the United States in 15 years) and an even
larger 3.7 percent jump during the first 6 months of 2006;
(3)these disturbing
rises in violent crime are attributable in part to the spread of criminal
street gangs and the willingness of gang members to commit acts of violence and
drug trafficking offenses;
(4)according to a
recent National Drug Threat Assessment, criminal street gangs are responsible
for much of the retail distribution of the cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin,
and other illegal drugs being distributed in rural and urban communities
throughout the United States;
(5)gangs commit acts
of violence or drug offenses for numerous motives, such as membership in or
loyalty to the gang, for protecting gang territory, and for profit;
(6)gang presence and
intimidation, and the organized and repetitive nature of the crimes that gangs
commit, has a pernicious effect on the free flow of interstate commercial
activities and directly affects the freedom and security of communities plagued
by gang activity, diminishing the value of property, inhibiting the desire of
national and multinational corporations to transact business in those
communities, and in a variety of ways significantly affecting interstate and
foreign commerce;
(7)gangs often
recruit and utilize minors to engage in acts of violence and other serious
offenses out of a belief that the criminal justice systems are more lenient on
juvenile offenders;
(8)gangs often
intimidate and threaten witnesses to prevent successful prosecutions;
(9)gang recruitment
can be deterred through increased vigilance, strong criminal penalties,
partnerships between Federal and State and local law enforcement, and proactive
intervention efforts, particularly targeted at juveniles, prior to gang
involvement;
(10)State and local
prosecutors and law enforcement officers, in hearings before the Committee on
the Judiciary of the Senate and elsewhere, have enlisted the help of Congress
in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of gang crimes and in the
protection of witnesses and victims of gang crimes; and
(11)because State and
local prosecutors and law enforcement have the expertise, experience, and
connection to the community that is needed to assist in combating gang
violence, consultation and coordination between Federal, State, and local law
enforcement is critical to the successful prosecutions of criminal street
gangs.
