Brooklyn DA

On Monday, November 13th a man from the Brooklyn DA's office came to St. John's to discuss the gang borough of Brooklyn. He was a student at St John's, lived in Queens his whole life and attended school in Queens his entire life. The Brooklyn DA's office is a progressive look at crimes to progress the safety of the city. They have 9 DA's handling the gang borough. The first thing in the gang borough is judicial prosecution, then they talk about the investigated branch with proactive prosecution. What everyday people call snitches, the DA's office calls confidential conformance which are people who realize that this is not the life that they wanted to live. So they decide to try and reduce their sentence and tend to give useful information in reducing crime. The role of the prosecutor is to protect the constitution and to protect people's rights. If they do not have enough information to prosecute the criminal then whoever is defending him must help the defendant get out of that situation. Even if that man did commit that crime. Although NY has a high crime rate they are not as bad as LA or Chicago. The gangs of today tend to recruit kids at the age of 13 or 14. With that they tend to get people known as the "going along to get along". Which they are only in the gang for their best safety. These people are looked at by the DA's office, and the DA's office will help these people live a better life if they were prosecuted. The gangs of today are hard to control, police and prosecutors try and do their best but members of gangs are having kids. With their kids being raised up in the gang, it will be hard to stop a gang completely. The DA's office will try and control this problem one day at a time.
