## SEC. 140008 SOLICITATION OF MINOR TO COMMIT CRIME **[**[28 U.S.C. 994 note](/us/usc/t28/s994)**]** ###
(a)Directive to Sentencing Commission ####
(1)The United States Sentencing Commission shall promulgate guidelines or amend existing guidelines to provide that a defendant 21 years of age or older who has been convicted of an offense shall receive an appropriate sentence enhancement if the defendant involved a minor in the commission of the offense. ####
(2)The Commission shall provide that the guideline enhancement promulgated pursuant to paragraph
(1)shall apply for any offense in relation to which the defendant has solicited, procured, recruited, counseled, encouraged, trained, directed, commanded, intimidated, or otherwise used or attempted to use any person less than 18 years of age with the intent that the minor would commit a Federal offense. ###
(b)Relevant Considerations In implementing the directive in subsection (a), the Sentencing Commission shall consider— ####
(1)the severity of the crime that the defendant intended the minor to commit; ####
(2)the number of minors that the defendant used or attempted to use in relation to the offense; ####
(3)the fact that involving a minor in a crime of violence is frequently of even greater seriousness than involving a minor in a drug trafficking offense, for which the guidelines already provide a two-level enhancement; and ####
(4)the possible relevance of the proximity in age between the offender and the minor(s) involved in the offense. # TITLE XV CRIMINAL STREET GANGS
