gang injunctions

Gang injunctions are legal orders issued by courts to restrict certain behaviors and activities of individuals identified as gang members in specific areas. These injunctions aim to reduce gang-related crime and violence by prohibiting actions such as loitering, associating with other gang members, or possessing specific items. Violating these injunctions can lead to arrests or additional legal penalties. While intended to enhance public safety, gang injunctions can also raise concerns about civil liberties and the potential for targeting individuals unfairly.
