Such databases present major challenges, including developing operational definitions of "gang" and "gang member" and avoiding both Type I and Type II errors, since such errors can threaten civil liberties and public safety, as well. This chapter analyzes various types of gang definitions and gang databases; surveys legislative and statutory requirements among the states; discusses major methodological, constitutional, and civil liberties concerns; and offers suggestions for future reform efforts.
