How has the juvenile court treated a minor who was admitted to being a member of a criminal gang on probation?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. D.I. (In re D.I.), E071990 (Cal. App. 2019):

Given these facts showing minor's gang membership, the juvenile court properly concluded that the gang-related probation conditions could help prevent future criminality. Indeed, "disassociation from gang-connected activities [is] an essential element of any probationary effort at rehabilitation" because it insulates an admitted gang member such as minor from "a source of temptation to continue to pursue a criminal lifestyle." (People v. Lopez (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 615, 626.) We cannot conclude that the juvenile court abused its discretion in imposing the gang-related probation conditions. (See generally id. at pp. 625-626 [gang-related probation condition for admitted gang member valid because the condition was reasonably related to preventing future criminality].)
