  • The Tools, Tactics, and Mentality of Outlaw Biker Wars
    Am J Crim Just (2011) 36:216–230 DOI 10.1007/s12103-011-9107-5 The Tools, Tactics, and Mentality of Outlaw Biker Wars James F. Quinn & Craig J. Forsyth Received: 7 September 2010 /Accepted: 15 March 2011 / Published online: 19 April 2011 # Southern Criminal Justice Association 2011 Abstract Warfare among rival outlaw motorcycle clubs has been and remains a critical dynamic in the subculture. This paper examines the role of war mentality in the biker subculture and how it has changed overtime. Specific exemplary and noteworthy events are discussed to illustrate critical ideas. Also examined are the changing tactics, defenses, and tools used in these conflict and how the mentality of the outlaw biker club has contributed to the evolution of warfare from impulsive, self-gratifying mayhem to more calculating symbolic and instrumental acts. Keywords Motorcycle clubs . One Percenter . Criminal behavior . Deviant behavior . Violence . Outlaw . Gangs . War . Crime/criminology . Violence . Social Organization . Organizational change . Subculture/counterculture Introduction This paper examines the historical warfare, which continues to evolve, among rival outlaw biker clubs and the role of war mentality in this one percenter subculture. These clubs consist of men who cannot or will not fit in to mainstream society, are alienated enough to exalt in their outlaw status and fearless enough to defend that status against all challenges (Quinn, 1987; Quinn & Forsyth, 2007, 2009). The subculture consists of a plethora of clubs with local, regional, national and international status but is dominated by the so-called “Big Four” clubs—the Hells’ Angels, Outlaws, Bandidos and Pagans. The “Big Four” term dates to the early 1970s when these clubs were the most powerful groups in the subculture.

But the first idea is not to picture bikers even though we know they gather in violent gangs shown in several movies. However… They have funny names like “Bandidos”, “Pagans”, “Satan's Sidekicks”, “Mongols”, “Dirty Dozen”, “Sons of Silence” and many more, and maybe you saw some of them riding in line on big noisy Harley Davidson’s. One rather thinks that it’s petty street violence in ritual clothing. Well, it’s not. It’s many battles and deaths in the US since these groups exist and it’s a turf war in Europe for several years, using means one cannot imagine. And it’s also criminal activities of almost every existing type. While this threat is handled by local and Federal agencies in the US for many years, INTERPOL launched “Project Rocker” in 1991. The idea was to assist member countries to meet increasing law enforcement requirements in the area of combating organised crime of the outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) in Europe, Africa and Asia. “Project Rocker”, which is mainly focused on monitoring and intelligence gathering, is co-ordinated by the “Organised Crime Group” in co-operation with the “Drugs subdivision” of the General Secretariat.

  • STREET GANGS: Intelligence T& Awareness Training
    STREET GANGS: Intelligence t& Awareness Training Provided by the GANG UNIT INTRODUCTION: The Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit is a statewide specialty unit that investigates violent criminal street gangs and their related crimes. There are approximately 40 Troopers assigned to 7 teams, all of which work closely with our local and federal law enforcement partners. The Gang Unit's focus is on intelligence gathering, gang/crime suppression, and case management of gang related crimes. The Gang Unit assists municipalities by providing gang training, completing joint directed patrols in high crime areas, and providing undercover officers for narcotics purchases in gang and high crime areas. WHAT IS A GANG? MGL c.265 s.44 references a gang as an "organization of three or more persons which has a common name, identifying sign or symbol and whose members individually or collectively engage in criminal activity." Most gangs have a hierarchy ofleadership & membership, and at least some form of organizational structure. WHO ARE GANG MEMBERS? Today, there is no ''typical'' gang member. Gang members come in all shapes, sizes, nationalities, races, religions, economic backgrounds, and age: male and female. The stereotype of the young inner-city minority male dressed in baggie clothes and bandanas, gang beads draped around their necks, tossing hand signs, is no longer the rule. Pop culture has mainstreamed the "gangsta" look. RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH JOINING A GANG: * Friends who are gang members * Constitutional/biological factors * Family issues (subs. abuse, violence, etc.) * Bullying * Positive media portrayals of gangs * Academic failure/problems * Environment * Economic deprivation WHY DO PEOPLE JOIN GANGS? * Sense of family or belonging * Status and/or recognition * Protection * Money/economic hardship * Excitement * Environment/lack of positive role models * Lack of self-esteem * It may be all they know ..

  • Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Organized Crime
    Klaus von Lampe and Arjan Blokland Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Organized Crime ABSTRACT Outlaw motorcycle clubs have spread across the globe. Their members have been associated with serious crime, and law enforcement often perceives them to be a form of organized crime. Outlaw bikers are disproportionately engaged in crime, but the role of the club itself in these crimes remains unclear. Three scenarios describe possible relations between clubs and the crimes of their members. In the “bad apple” scenario, members individually engage in crime; club membership may offer advantages in enabling and facilitating offending. In the “club within a club” scenario, members engage in crimes separate from the club, but because of the number of members involved, including high-ranking members, the club itself appears to be taking part. The club can be said to function as a criminal organization only when the formal organizational chain of command takes part in organization of the crime, lower level members regard senior members’ leadership in the crime as legitimate, and the crime is generally understood as “club business.” All three scenarios may play out simultaneously within one club with regard to different crimes. Fact and fiction interweave concerning the origins, evolution, and prac- tices of outlaw motorcycle clubs.
