How should we define gangs and identify their members?

|

Will a new definition of what constitutes a gang help the state in its efforts to stop gangs from committing crimes? Gang experts say a uniform definition is the first step to better law enforcement efforts. But some worry that the definition plus a gang database that law enforcement officers are building will lead to more racial profiling of black and Hispanic youths. What's your take on the issue?
