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 2.3 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, 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 and collaboration with other community agencies is critical to the
successful prosecutions of criminal street gangs and reduction of gang
problems.
