Summary
The Criminal Street Gang Abatement Act of 2007 will provide law enforcement the tools they need to combat gang violence by focusing upon patterns of criminal gang activity, the chief source of violence created by street gangs. It also provides two funding mechanisms for after school academic, sports and recreational programs and other gang prevention programs, thereby providing youths an alternative to joining gangs. The Act will also create a statewide gang database, authorize roving interceptions, remove accomplice testimony corroboration requirements for gang offenses, and create a witness protection program - also to aid in the prosecution of gang related crimes.
Title
An act to amend the penal law, the civil practice law and rules, the criminal procedure law and the state finance law, in relation to enacting the criminal street gang abatement act of 2009; and making an appropriation therefor
