Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that gangs are primarily comprised by low-income minority males is not a finding by the Illinois Legislature concerning the peril posed by gangs. This choice introduces a stereotype that is not part of the legislative findings, which generally focus on the behaviors and impacts of gangs rather than demographic compositions. The other options (A, B, C) reflect concerns about the effects of gangs on communities, their organization, and the threat they pose to public safety, which are in line with legislative findings on the issue.
