Gang Prosecution Manual

This is a workbook designed to help local prosecutors and investigators visualize and prepare for every step of a gang‐related crime prosecution, from the initial crime scene investigation to preparing and presenting the case and, finally, sentencing issues specific to gang cases.  This document has been prepared by working prosecutors and investigators from states with very different legal requirements.    They have years of experience in dealing with the complexities of violent gang‐related crime.  The intent of this manual is to assist local prosecutors in holding gang‐involved offenders accountable for their actions and, ultimately, guarding the community from gangs.
