Understanding Chicago’s Gang Enhancement Laws and Criminal Penalties

Gang Enhancement Laws

Gang enhancement laws in Chicago carry significant legal consequences for individuals involved in crimes connected to gang activity. These laws impose strict penalties when a crime is committed with the intent to further gang-related objectives or when a defendant is found to be a gang member.

The Law Offices of Andrew Weisberg can [...]
