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 2.3 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, and the Police Executive Research Forum
reports that, among jurisdictions providing information, homicides are up 10.21
percent, robberies are up 12.27 percent, and aggravated assaults with firearms
are up 9.98 percent since 2004;
(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 and gang members
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 directly and substantially 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)gangs prey upon and incorporate
minors into their ranks, exploiting the fact that adolescents have immature
decision-making capacity, therefore, gang activity and recruitment can be
reduced and deterred through increased vigilance, appropriate criminal
penalties, partnerships between Federal and State and local law enforcement,
and proactive prevention and intervention efforts, particularly targeted at
juveniles and young adults, prior to and even during gang involvement;
(10)State and local prosecutors and
law enforcement officers 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
and collaboration with other community agencies is critical to the successful
prosecutions of criminal street gangs and reduction of gang problems.
