Title: GANG LOITERING AND RACE.
Authors: Rosenthal, Lawrence
Source: Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology. Fall2000, Vol. 91 Issue 1, p99. 62p.
Subjects: Gangs, Loitering, Trials (Law), Criminal justice system, United States. Supreme Court
Geographic Terms: United States
Abstract: The U.S. Supreme Court held in "City of Chicago v. Morales case," that Chicago's anti-gang loitering ordinance, authorizing the police to disperse groups of loiterers containing criminal street gang members, was unconstitutionally vague. Harvey Grossman, the attorney who had argued the case for the winning side, called the decision "a victory for young men of color." To date, the debate over public order laws has largely been framed in terms of the supposed virtues and vices of order maintenance as a policing strategy. The advocates of public order laws argue that visible disorder in a community stimulates the commission of more serious crimes, and that a policing strategy based on order maintenance is of particular benefit in inner-city minority communities, where social disorder is a particularly serious problem.
