Drugs and Crime Gang Profile
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE – LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE Drugs and Crime Gang Profile Product No. 2002-M0465-001 NOVEMBER 2002 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Crips The Crips, one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States, is an association of structured and unstructured gangs that have adopted a common gang culture. Crips membership is estimated between 30,000 and 35,000; most members are African American men from the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Crips gangs are most active in the Southwest, Pacific, West Central, Southeast, and Great Lakes regions of the United States. Their main source of income is street-level distribution of powdered cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana, and PCP. The gangs also are involved in many other types of criminal activity including assault, auto theft, burglary, carjacking, drive-by shooting, extortion, homicide, identification fraud, and robbery. Background Originally called the Avenue Cribs, the Crips Hardy, Bennie Simpson, Mack Thomas, and Angelo street gang was formed in Los Angeles, California, White, recruited more young men and increased the in the mid-1960s.

A Historical Account of Black Gangsterism Offers Wisdom and Warning for African American Leadership
Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Historical Account of Black Gangsterism Offers Wisdom and Warning for African American Leadership By: Steven R. Cureton Cureton, S. R. (2009) Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Historical Account of Black Gangsterism Offers Wisdom and Warning for African-American Leadership. Journal of Black Studies, 40(2), 347-361. doi: 10.1177/0021934708315486 Made available courtesy of Sage Publications: http://www.dx.doi.org/10.1177/0021934708315486 ***Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Sage Publications. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Black Americans who exist outside of the American Dream have historically had a direct relationship with street revolutionaries and ghetto superstars more than the appointed Black leadership. Hence, it continues to be an unfair criticism for any “integrated” Black leader to suggest that another Black leader is not authentic enough to have universal appeal, particularly when there is a noticeable social distance between the majority of Black leaders (past and present) who emerge from the middle class and the Black underclass. The gang has traditionally been a significant socialization agent in gangland areas; thus, Black leadership should access the wisdom of the gang when looking for answers to the tough life course conditions of the urban underclass resident. This article provides a brief history about Black gangs in an attempt to provide some insight relative to just how significant the Black gang has been to the Black experience in America.

Corría el año 1955 cuando surgió en el lado Oeste de la ciudad de Los Ángeles una pandilla que adoptó como nombre Clantone 14. Esta pandilla, integrada por méxico-americanos se formó, tal y como he explicado anteriormente, para defenderse de otras pandillas que existían en su misma vecindad, la cual se consolidó en el transcurso de los siguientes años y expansionó su influencia a otros barrios cercanos que se encontraban principalmente habitados por emigrantes mexicanos indocumentados. Muchos de los jóvenes de estas familias de inmigrantes mexicanos, atraídos por la fuerza que estaba adquiriendo, intentaron integrarse en la pandilla Clantone 14 pero ésta tan sólo permitía la entrada en el grupo a los ciudadanos americanos de origen hispánico puro, circunstancia que motivó que en el año 1965 uno de estos jóvenes apodado “Glover”, que había intentado ingresar en la pandilla y que había sido rechazado, fundase la pandilla de la calle 18 o Eigtheen Street Gang, la cual fue integrada en un primer momento por emigrantes mexicanos ilegales.

UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE NATIONAL GANG INTELLIGENCE CENTER 2011 NATIONAL GANG THREAT ASSESSMENT Emerging Trends UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE SPECIAL THANKS TO THE NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS AND SUPPORT. UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED//LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment (U) The gang estimates presented in the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment (NGTA) repre- sents the collection of data provided by the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) – through the National Drug Threat Survey, Bureau of Prisons, State Correctional Facilities, and National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) law enforcement partners. An overview of how these numbers were collected is described within the Scope and Methodology Section of the NGTA. The estimates were provided on a voluntary basis and may include estimates of gang members as well as gang associates. Likewise, these estimates may not capture gang membership in jurisdictions that may have underreported or who declined to report. Based on these estimates, geospatial maps were prepared to visually display the reporting jurisdictions. (U) The data used to calculate street gangs and Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs estimates nationwide in the report are derived primarily from NDIC’s National Drug Threat Survey. These estimates do not affect the qualitative findings of the 2011 NGTA and were used primarily to create the map’s highlighting gang activity nationally. After further review of these estimates, the maps originally provided in 2011 NGTA were revised to show state-level representation of gang activity per capita and by law enforcement officers. This maintains consistency with the 2009 NGTA report’s maps on gang activity.
