Stop Gang Violence Act
The Stop Gang Violence Act requires the Federal Bureau of Investigation to include information on suspected gang-related offenses in its existing reports to the National Gang Intelligence Center. This change directly affects the FBI and federal law enforcement agencies by expanding the data they must collect and share regarding gang activities. The bill does not create new crimes or alter penalties but instead mandates a specific reporting procedure to improve the tracking of gang involvement in criminal cases.
