An article posted on the Post’s portion of Cincinnati.com yesterday morning reported the City’s earmarking of $1.2 million to combat street crime and increase the visibility of police presence in troubled areas (Ordinance 0197-2005).
Related articles nationally a couple of weeks ago centered on federal legislation sponsored by Virginia Rep. J. Randy Forbes, that represented a comprehensive anti-gang bill that “would turn many gang-related violent offenses into federal crimes punishable by mandatory sentences of at least 10 years, expand the range of crimes carrying the death penalty, and enabling U.S. prosecutors to try 16- and 17-year-old gang members as about is federal courts.” It would also authorize increased federal funding to support federal, state and local law enforcement efforts against gangs, and coordinate agencies’ efforts to share information & jointly investigate them.
