Abstract
Gang violence is increasing in small and large communities throughout the United States. Legislators have reacted in predictable, and sometimes piecemeal, ways. This essay argues that the first principle of "gang control" legislation should be the protection of those who live in neighborhoods occupied by gangs, and suggests that the Fourth Geneva Convention "Relative to the Protection of Civilians in Time of War" provides useful starting point for the analysis.
