Description

Step by step, this court continues its struggle through the thicket of statutory construction issues presented by the California Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention Act of 1988, also known as the STEP Act. (Stats. 1988, ch. 1242, § 1, pp. 4127-4129; see People v. Robles (2000) 23 Cal.4th 1106; People v. Castenada (2000) 23 Cal.4th 743; People v. Zermeno (1999) 21 Cal.4th 927; People v. Loeun (1997) 17 Cal.4th 1; People v. Gardeley (1996) 14 Cal.4th 605.) Like Gardeley, this case involves Penal Code section 186.22, subdivision (b), a sentence enhancement provision for felonies committed "for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with any criminal street gang." *fn2 (Italics added.) The STEP Act defines a criminal street gang as "any ongoing organization, association, or group of three or more persons, whether formal or informal" that has as one of its "primary activities" the commission of one or more statutorily enumerated criminal offenses and through its members engages in a "pattern of criminal gang activity." (§ 186.22, subd. (f).) In Gardeley, we construed the phrase "pattern of criminal gang activity," but we also touched on the gang statute's "primary activities" requirement, an issue in this case.
