Which group is specifically identified under criminal street gang definitions?

The term "criminal street gang" is specifically defined to include groups that engage in ongoing criminal activity and are characterized by certain identifiable patterns, such as a common name, symbol, or style. Among the provided choices, a Security Threat Group is the most aligned with this definition because these groups typically involve individuals who associate together to engage in criminal activity, often with a structured hierarchy and a commitment to ongoing criminal enterprise. They pose threats not only to public safety but also directly to law enforcement by engaging in various forms of organized crime.

In contrast, Social Justice Groups, Community Organizations, and Non-Profit Entities are generally focused on advocacy, support, community service, or promotion of social causes, and do not fit into the parameters that define criminal activity associated with gang behavior. These groups tend to work within legal boundaries and do not typically engage in criminal enterprises as part of their foundational purpose. Thus, they do not meet the criteria established for classification as a criminal street gang.
