S. 155 , the Gang Prevention and Effective Deterrence Act of\n2005, addresses many of the same issues often to similar effect and occasionally in the same\nlanguage found in H.R. 1279. H.R. 1279, among other things, would\ndramatically increase the criminal penalties that follow as a consequence of a conviction for violent\ncrimes, including gang offenses. It would expand the instances where juveniles charged with federal\ncrimes of violence could be tried as adults and would authorize the establishment of criminal street\ngang enforcement teams.
