Stop Gang Violence Act

This legislation, known as the Stop Gang Violence Act , seeks to incentivize local governments to provide more comprehensive data on gang-related crime. It achieves this by amending existing law to grant priority consideration for federal Byrne-JAG grants to jurisdictions that report specific gang affiliation information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Specifically, the bill requires these jurisdictions to include data on offenses suspected to be gang-related in their reports to the FBI, including the National Gang Intelligence Center. This measure is designed to enhance the collection and sharing of critical intelligence on gang activities across the nation, thereby supporting efforts to combat gang violence more effectively.
