The criminal justice process starts with the commission of a crime. There are three basic ways a case may be brought to court. Arrest of the accused at the scene of the crime;
  • Arrest based on a warrant issued by the Court in response to a sworn complaint; and
  • Arrest based on an indictment by a grand jury as the result of an investigation.
In all three instances, the evidence available must be sufficient to later convince the Court that there is "probable cause" to believe that a crime was committed and that the person arrested took part in committing the crime. "Probable Cause" means that there is reasonable belief that a crime has been committed.
The latest statistics provided by the National Youth Gang Center reveal that there are over 25,000 gangs nationwide, with a total membership of over 600,000. It's also suggested that these figures may be conservative estimates. Police departments and communities tend to under-report their gang problem. Total gang population of the United States may actually be between 850,000 to 950,000. To give you an idea of the size of the gang problem: There are nearly as many gangs as there are McDonald's, Burger King's, and Wendy's combined. If 850,000 - 950,000 gang members were standing back-to-back, that line would stretch 240 to 270 miles! That's the distance between San Francisco, California and Las Vegas, Nevada.
