Gangs & School Violence

Yo, you want to score big? A good offense... The first defense in protecting our kids against gang influence, is a good offense . Just as we warn our kids against the dangers of smoking, alcohol and drugs before we discover evidence of such activity , we must take similar precautions and talk to our children about the dangers of gang involvement. That is, making our children aware that gang association of any kind is harmful and will not be tolerated. They need to hear it from you and know where you stand. Discuss the consequences of being in a gang. We must teach them that they should not associate with gang members, communicate with gangs , hang out where gangs congregate, wear gang-related clothing or attend event

Northwest Gangs

Welcome to the Northwest Gangs website. This website was made to give general information on street gang activity in the Northwest region of the United States. Modern day street gangs have been active in the Northwest since the 1980's. Since then the Bloods, Crips, Surenos and Nortenos all made the move up here from California. Also in the 1980's the Gangster Disciple Folk Nation came to the greater Seattle-Tacoma area from Chicago, Illinois. More recently the Vice Lords and Latin Kings from Chicago’s People Nation have been showing up in our communities. Also in many communities are Skinhead, Neo-Nazi, Outlaw Motorcycle and Hybrid gangs. On here you will find listings of several hundred different gangs throughout the Northwest. Gangs in the Northwest can have as few as 3 or 4 members to a few hundred members. They come from all racial backgrounds such as Blacks, Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian and Native American. The majority of gang members are males, but female gangsters are bec

An Urban Ethnography of Latino Street Gangs

This is an on-going urban ethnography which began as part of a sabbatical leave from California State University Northridge in June of 1996, focusing on Latino street gangs in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Currently as of October 1999 it has expanded to Albuquerque and Phoenix hoping to find solutions, to share an ever expanding body of data and literature on Latino street gangs, and to locate successful strategies for prevention and intervention with at-risk youths. The interviewing process continues although over 1200 young people both gang-affiliated and non-gang affiliated from the same socio-economic areas between the ages of 14 to 24 have already been interviewed so far. The interview examines their early school experiences between Kindergarten and 6th grade. It also inquires about their relationship with parents, why they dropped out of school (if they have), and why they think youths join gangs. Another objective of this research is to discover turning p

There are six major prison gangs that are recognized nationally for their participation in organized crime and violence. They have no known official affiliation with other alliances. Each group is represented in Florida's prison system population; however some are not readily recognizable. The six major prison gangs currently are: Neta Aryan Brotherhood Black Guerrilla Family Mexican Mafia La Nuestra Familia Texas Syndicate Although their numbers are small in Florida prisons, if left unmonitored they could easily develop into highly predatory groups as they have in states with comparable inmate populations. The largest prison gangs in the Florida Department of Corrections are Neta and Aryan Brotherhood. Neta Gender Makeup: Male Racial Makeup: Puerto Rican-American/ Hispanic Origin: an inmate established The Neta in 1970 in Rio Pedras Prison, Puerto Rico.
