Civil Gang Injunctions Webinar
The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance's National Training and Technical Assistance Center invites you to view its webinar on civil gang injunctions. Based on the legal theory of public nuisance, civil gang injunctions are an emerging anti-gang strategy that employs court-issued restraining orders to prohibit gang members from participating in certain activities. The webinar covers: (1) what gang injunctions are and are not; (2) an overview of how to get one; and (3) what to do if you have one. The webinar was presented by Mr. Jim McDougal and Mr. Greg Anderson and is supported by the National District Attorneys Association.
