Quote of the Day...

Ok, this is from the 8/24 N@O "What is a Gang" story. David Jones, director of the Governor's Crime Commission is explaining why they don't release the way they decide what constitutes being in a gang to the public. I still can't figure out the rationale...

Maybe you can...



Last year, the commission developed GangNet statewide. Now law enforcement across the state can share criminal information about gang members. Law enforcement officers can enter into the database information about individuals who must meet two of eleven validation criteria or who have admitted gang membership.
Jones, the crime commission director, declined to share the 11 criteria or the GangNet training curriculum.
"We don't publicize the criteria because we don't want to let the gang members know what we are looking for or they will try to conceal it," he said.
