SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) violent crime and drug trafficking are pervasive 
        problems at the national, State, and local level;
            (2) according to recent Federal Bureau of Investigation, 
        Uniform Crime Reports, violent crime in the United States is on 
        the rise, with a 2.5 percent increase in violent crime in 2005 
        (the largest increase in the United States in 15 years) and an 
        even larger 3.7 percent jump during the first 6 months of 2006;
            (3) these disturbing rises in violent crime are 
        attributable in part to the spread of criminal street gangs and 
        the willingness of gang members to commit acts of violence and 
        drug trafficking offenses;
            (4) according to a recent National Drug Threat Assessment, 
        criminal street gangs are responsible for much of the retail 
        distribution of the cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and other 
        illegal drugs being distributed in rural and urban communities 
        throughout the United States;
            (5) gangs commit acts of violence or drug offenses for 
        numerous motives, such as membership in or loyalty to the gang, 
        for protecting gang territory, and for profit;
            (6) gang presence and intimidation, and the organized and 
        repetitive nature of the crimes that gangs commit, has a 
        pernicious effect on the free flow of interstate commercial 
        activities and directly affects the freedom and security of 
        communities plagued by gang activity, diminishing the value of 
        property, inhibiting the desire of national and multinational 
        corporations to transact business in those communities, and in 
        a variety of ways significantly affecting interstate and 
        foreign commerce;
            (7) gangs often recruit and utilize minors to engage in 
        acts of violence and other serious offenses out of a belief 
        that the criminal justice systems are more lenient on juvenile 
        offenders;
            (8) gangs often intimidate and threaten witnesses to 
        prevent successful prosecutions;
            (9) gang recruitment can be deterred through increased 
        vigilance, strong criminal penalties, partnerships between 
        Federal and State and local law enforcement, and proactive 
        intervention efforts, particularly targeted at juveniles, prior 
        to gang involvement;
            (10) State and local prosecutors and law enforcement 
        officers, in hearings before the Committee on the Judiciary of 
        the Senate and elsewhere, have enlisted the help of Congress in 
        the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of gang crimes 
        and in the protection of witnesses and victims of gang crimes; 
        and
            (11) because State and local prosecutors and law 
        enforcement have the expertise, experience, and connection to 
        the community that is needed to assist in combating gang 
        violence, consultation and coordination between Federal, State, 
        and local law enforcement is critical to the successful 
        prosecutions of criminal street gangs.
