What is Considered Gang Crime in California?
According to California law, a gang is an association of 3 or more people that has an established group identity and a record—either individually or collectively—of gang activity. If a person is a part of this gang, and then commits an offense that is considered at the behest of or for the benefit of the gang it can be considered a gang crime.
The crimes associated with gang activity are crimes regardless of the circumstances. It is quite clearly against the law to commit assault, sexual violence, robbery, or any other felony, regardless of whether one is in a gang or not. But there are certain circumstances that can if proven by the District Attorney’s office, result in enhanced sentencing.
