2021 California Code|Penal Code - PEN|PART 4 - PREVENTION OF CRIMES AND APPREHENSION OF CRIMINALS|TITLE 6 - CALIFORNIA COUNCIL ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE|CHAPTER 3.5 - Gang Violence Suppression|Section 13826.

13826.  The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) That violent activity by gangs is a serious and growing problem in the State of California.(b) There is an increasing percentage of school age pupils involved in gang activity.(c) There are many schools that serve a disproportionate number of youth involved in gang activity which are unable to effectively implement programs designed to prevent youth from becoming involved in gang activity.

2021 California Code|Penal Code - PEN|PART 4 - PREVENTION OF CRIMES AND APPREHENSION OF CRIMINALS|TITLE 6 - CALIFORNIA COUNCIL ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE|CHAPTER 3.5 - Gang Violence Suppression|Section 13826.1.

13826.1.  (a) There is hereby established in the Board of State and Community Corrections, the Gang Violence Suppression Program, a program of financial and technical assistance for district attorneys’ offices, local law enforcement agencies, county probation departments, school districts, county offices of education, or any consortium thereof, and community-based organizations which are primarily engaged in the suppression of gang violence.(b) Funds made available pursuant to this chapter are intended to ensure the highest quality provision of services and to reduce unnecessary duplication. Funds disbursed under this chapter shall not be used by local agencies to supplant other funding for Public Safety Services, as defined in Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution.

13826.11.  (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following:(1) There is a greater threat to public safety resulting from gang- and drug-related activity in and near California’s inner cities.(2) Young people, especially at-promise youth, are more vulnerable to gang- and drug-related activity during the potentially unsupervised hours between the end of school and the time their parents or guardians return home from work.(3) Without local prevention and treatment efforts, hard drugs will continue to threaten and destroy families and communities in and near the inner cities. Drug-related violence may then escalate dramatically in every community, and thereby burden the criminal justice system to the point that it cannot function effectively.(4) Los Angeles currently leads the nation in the number of gang members and gang sites, the consumption of drugs, the amount of drugs confiscated, drug-related violent crimes, and has the greatest number of young people between 6 and 18 years of age who are “at risk.”(5) It is the intent of the Legislature that a pilot program, the “After School Alternative Program” (ASAP), be established and implemented within a specified Los Angeles community. This community program would utilize the public schools, businesses, and community facilities to provide supportive programs and activities to young people during the time between the end of school and the return home of their parents or guardians (from approximately 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.).(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 800, Sec. 22.

13826.15.  (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the implementation of the Gang Violence Suppression Program, as provided in this chapter, has made a positive impact in the battle against crimes committed by gang members in California. (b) The Legislature further finds and declares that the program, when it was originally created in 1981, provided financial and technical assistance only for district attorneys’ offices. Since that time, however, the provisions of the program have been amended by the Legislature to enable additional public entities and community-based organizations to participate in the program.(Amended (as amended by Stats. 2011, Ch. 36, Sec. 63) by Stats. 2012, Ch. 43, Sec. 68.
