Gangs are a
Community problem &
need a Community
RESPONSE.
Knowing how gangs operate & how to identify them is
one step in
keeping our Communities SAFE.
Gang activity
is dangerous to neighborhoods, towns, & cities.
It affects society as a whole.
Canadian Definition
Within
Canadian law enforcement, a legal definition for
organized crime has only existed since the late
1990's following the enactment of Bill C-95.
Amendments to this area of the Criminal Code have
led to the present legal definition found within
section 467.1(1) of the
Criminal Code of Canada , which states
a "criminal organization"
means a group, however organized, that:
(a) is
composed of
three
or more persons in or outside Canada;
and,
(b) has as one of its main purposes
or main
activities the
facilitation or
commission of one
or more serious offences, that, if committed,
would likely result in the direct or indirect
receipt of a material benefit, including a
financial benefit, by the group
or by any
one of
the persons who constitute the group.
The various
components that comprise this legal definition are
based on the exclusion of a group of three of more
persons that has formed randomly for the immediate
commission of a single offence.
