Los Angeles County Grand Jury Report On Civil Gang Injunctions

Independent analysis supports the crime-fighting effectiveness of gang injunctions. The Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury of 2003-2004, an independent body of citizens, conducted a study of gang injunctions and concluded that gang injunctions result in a significant reduction in both serious and total crimes, while not causing a significant displacement of crime to adjacent neighborhoods.  Indeed, the Grand Jury found that civil gang injunctions play an important role in the intervention, the prevention and the suppression of gang activities.
