Mandatory Annual Reporting on Gang Activity and Violent Crime Trends.
This law requires the Attorney General, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security to submit detailed annual reports to Congress concerning gang activity, growth, methods, and related investigations. The goal is to replace outdated information with current, accurate data to enable policymakers to develop more effective, evidence-based strategies to combat organized crime. Citizens benefit indirectly from policies aimed at improving public safety based on better intelligence.
