the Justice System Could Do
Typical goals of an anti-gang
program, of which prosecution is a part, are to reduce the incidence or
prevalence of youth gang crime and to increase the capacity of gang or
gang-prone youth to obtain and hold jobs or succeed in school. At the same
time, the anti-gang program strives to protect and benefit the community, to
accomplish these ends without compromising the civil liberties of
law-abiding community members, to enhance the community's control over its
own destiny, and to increase the community's perception of safety.
