  • Dying to Belong an In-Depth Review of Street Gangs in Britain a Policy Report by the Gangs Working Group
    Breakthrough Breakthrough Britain Britain Dying to Belong: An In(depth Review of Street Gangs in Britain “It is imperative that as a society we act now to stem the tide of gang culture and violence. Young people should not be dying on the Dying to streets of our great cities. This report and the recommendations contained within it offer hope to those communities devastated by gang violence. The policies cannot be implemented soon enough. Belong Now is the time to act.” An In-depth Review of Street Gangs in Britain Rt Hon Iain Duncan Smith MP, Preface to Dying to Belong A Policy Report by the Gangs Working Group £20.00 Chaired by Simon Antrobus The Centre for Social Justice The Centre for Social Justice 9 Westminster Palace Gardens February 2009 Artillery Row London SW1P 1RL www.centreforsocialjustice.org.uk About the Centre for Social Justice The Centre for Social Justice aims to put social justice at the heart of British politics. Our policy development is rooted in the wisdom of those working to tackle Britain’s deepest social problems and the experience of those whose lives have been affected by poverty. Our working groups are non-partisan, comprising prominent academics, practitioners and policy makers who have expertise in the relevant fields. We consult nationally and internationally, especially with charities and social enterprises, who are the the champions of the welfare society. In addition to policy development, the CSJ has built an alliance of poverty fighting organisations that reverse social breakdown and transform communities. We believe that the surest way the Government can reverse social breakdown and poverty is to enable such individuals, communities and voluntary groups to help themselves.

The North Carolina Gang Investigators Association (NCGIA) defines a gang as, “A group or association of three or more persons who may have a common identifying sign, symbol, or name and who individually or collectively engage in, or have engaged in criminal activity which creates an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. Criminal activity includes juvenile acts that if committed by an adult would be a crime.”88 For the past 12 years, the NC Governor’s Crime Commission (GCC) has investigated and reported on the nature and extent of criminal gangs within the state via the NC Criminal Justice Analysis Center (NCCJAC).89 The NC GCC sponsors a statewide, centralized criminal gang intelligence database called NC GangNET that houses intelligence information on gang members from agencies that choose to enter the data. To be classified and recorded as a gang for NC GangNET, a gang is defined using the NCGIA definition above. At least two of the following criteria must be established for an individual to be validated as a gang member in the NC GangNET database, unless an individual is a self-admitted member of a gang (in which case, the self-admission stands alone for meeting validation criteria)90: 1. Self-Admitted: Subject has admitted to being a gang member. 2. Gang Tattoos/Markings: Subject is known to have gang tattoos or markings.

  • Organized Crime in California 2005
    100 95 75 25 5 0 Organized Crime in California Annual Report to the California Legislature 2005 BILL LOCKYER, Attorney General CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Division of Law Enforcement Rick Oules, Director Wilfredo Cid, Assistant Director Criminal Intelligence Bureau Craig Buehler, Chief Allen Benitez, Assistant Chief Message from the Attorney General The 2005 Annual Report to the Legislature summarizes major criminal activities of street gangs, international terrorists, organized crime groups, and criminal extremists operating in or otherwise affecting this state. Each portion of the report also provides an analysis, then examines and evaluates patterns and trends associated with the crimes listed. During the past year, the Criminal Intelligence Bureau (CIB) has remained committed to helping protect the citizens of California. CIB consists of four intelligence sections -- the Gang Analysis Unit, the Organized Crime Analysis Unit, the State Terrorism Threat Assessment Center, and the Los Angeles County Regional Criminal Information Clearinghouse. Staff in these units identifies and track criminal suspects and groups, conduct assessments, and offer real-time tactical support in response to threats presented to the citizens of California by these entities. The information that follows highlights some of the projects undertaken by CIB in 2005. During this calendar year, CIB Task Forces assisted law enforcement agencies around the state with investigations of explosive devices at government facilities, gang sweeps involving a variety of arrests including: narcotics violations, warrants, prior deportation, probation violations, and violation of court orders. Some gang members were identified as suspects in homicides, assaults, sales of narcotics investigations, and auto theft investigations. Task Force agents also assisted the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in their investigation of four of members of Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is Saheeh, a radical prison gang, for their alleged roles in a conspiracy to levy war against the U.S.
