A number of states and city government have passed criminal laws to regulate gang behavior. In some places, it's a crime to participate in a gang. Some statutes and ordinances have stiffened the penalties for crimes committed by gang members. Others make it a crime to encourage minors to participate in gangs. Some have applied organized crime statues to gangs.
A few have even punished parents for their children's gang activities. Cities have also passed ordinances banning gang members from certain public places, particularly city parks.
