rank schools that may affect having a good education.
identify areas that may encourage alcohol abuse.

Explanation:

To determine if an area has gangs, analyzing criminal reports (which document gang - related or other crimes) is the most logical approach. Checking people's names is irrelevant to gang presence. Ranking schools relates to education, not gang presence. Identifying alcohol - abuse - encouraging areas doesn't directly indicate gang presence.

Answer:

A. Assess current criminal reports in the area.
