The Idaho Criminal Gang Enforcement Act mandates extended sentences for gang members, and establishes definitions for both criminal gangs, and criminal gang members.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not sure

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is whether Idaho's Criminal Gang Enforcement Act uses extended sentences and provides clear definitions for what constitutes a criminal gang and a criminal gang member. That combination is exactly what the act does, so the statement is true. The law creates enhanced penalties for certain gang-related offenses and also codifies who counts as a criminal gang member and what qualifies as a criminal gang. Clear definitions help ensure consistent application of the extended sentences and prevent arbitrary charging. Since both components are present, the correct interpretation is that the statement is true.
