To clarify the definitional issues surrounding gang crime, respondents were asked to indicate whether their agency most frequently uses a member-based, motive-based, or other definition. Sixty-two percent of respondents indicated that they use the member-based definition, 28 percent said they use the motive-based definition, and 10 percent reportedly use another definition (see figure 5). Further, 6.5 percent indicated that they use both member-based and motive-based definitions and 3.5 percent reportedly use another definition.
