SA:SA govt clamps down on crime gangs

The South Australian government has moved to clamp down on criminal gangs with a raft
of measures aimed at disrupting gang activity and giving greater protection to victims.

Attorney-General JOHN RAU today announced a package of measures that includes making
it a criminal office to participate in a criminal organisation.

Known gang members will be banned from certain places, have their driver licences and
other licences revoked and be prevented from using electronic media under the new measures.

Mr RAU says the measures would make it more difficult for criminal gangs to operate.
