( excerpts from Territoriality Among African American Street Gangs in Los Angeles by Alex Alonso, PhD Candidate . In Los Angeles and other urban areas in the United States, the formation of street gangs increased at a n alarming pace throughout the 1980s and 1990s . The Bloods and the Crips, the most well-known gangs of Los Angeles, are predominately African American [1] and they have steadily increased in number since their beginnings in 1969. In addition, there are approximately 600 Hispanic gangs in Los Angeles County with a growing Asian gang population numbering approximately 20,000 members.

Based on a survey conducted by Streetgangs.com in 2009, we have estimated that number to be substantially smaller, between 9,000 and 12,000 members county wide. We found that many of the gangs that the County regards as active have become defunct as members have matured out the gang, and other gangs were just much smaller than originally estimated. We also found that Asian gangs that are identified as being affiliated with Hispanic and Black gang structures (i.e. Bloods, Crips or Surenos) are included in the tallies of those gangs, while also being identified a second time in the Asian category. Most Asian gangs are composed of several independent identities that are mostly either Chinese, Filipino, Cambodian or Vietnamese. In Monterey Park, is where several Chinese gangs have formed which mostly included different “sides” of Wah Ching, a gang that has

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.
