Recently, this problem has ceased to be purely academic and has developed urgent, real-world consequences. Almost every state and the federal government has enacted anti-gang laws in the past several decades. These anti-gang statutes must define ‘gang’ in order to direct police suppression efforts and to criminally punish gang members or associates. These statutory gang definitions are all too often vague and overbroad, as the example of the Juggalos demonstrates.

  • FY17 Annual Report Metropolitan Enforcement Group
    State of Illinois Illinois State Police FY17 Annual Report Metropolitan Enforcement Group Printed by the Authority of the State of Illinois ISP Central Printing Section Printed on Recycled Paper ISP 5-583 (1/18) M www.illinois.gov www.isp.state.il.us Illinois State Police INTRODUCTION Metropolitan Enforcement Groups (MEGs), authorized by the Illinois General Assembly in 1977 under the Intergovernmental Drug Laws Enforcement Act (30 ILCS 715/6), continue to be an important component in the effort to combat illegal drug traffic throughout Illinois. MEGs represent a collaborative effort among state, federal, and local law enforcement agencies to enforce Illinois drug laws and investigate street gang activity. MEGs partner with Statewide Terrorism Intelligence Center (STIC) and Illinois National Guard Counterdrug analysts to reduce crime through intelligence led policing which focuses enforcement efforts on felony level drug distribution and trafficking. MEGs partner with community groups, health organizations, and local stakeholders to address and prevent substance abuse disorders (SUDs) affecting communities throughout Illinois. Illinois has nine MEGs encompassing 20 counties, including Scott County, Iowa. Combined populations of these counties is 3,968,508 or 31 percent of the total population of Illinois. The MEGs are staffed by 100 officers, 24 (24 percent) from the Illinois State Police (ISP), and 76 (76 percent) from local and federal agencies. Twenty-five administrative staff members manage budgets, analyze intelligence data, and coordinate asset seizures and forfeitures. Each MEG is overseen by a policy board composed of ISP officers, elected officials, and chief law enforcement officers or their designees. A 2017 report by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA), concluded MEG units were effective at making proportionally more felony and manufacture/delivery arrests than their local counterparts.

  • To View the Official Program!
    20 years of the gathering of the juggalos... On this momentous occasion, we Gather together not just to celebrate the 20th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos, but to uphold the legacy of our Juggalo Family. For two decades strong, we have converged at the height of the summer season for something so much more than the concerts, the lights, the sounds, the revelry, and the circus. There is no mistaking that the Gathering is the Greatest Show on Earth and has rightfully earned the title as the longest running independent rap festival on this or any other known planet. And while all these accolades are well-deserved and a point of pride, in our hearts we know...There is so much more to this. A greater reason and purpose. A magic that calls us together. That knowing. The spirit of the tribe. The call of the Dark Carnival. The magic mists that float by as we gaze through the trees into starry skies. We are together. And THAT is what we celebrate here, after 20 long, fresh, hilarious, incredible, tremendously karma-filled years. We call this the Soopa Gathering because we are here to celebrate the superpowers of the Juggalo Family. All of us here together and united are capable of heroics and strength beyond measure. We are Soopa. We are mighty. For we have found each other by the magic of the Carnival—standing 20 years strong on the Dirtball as we see into the eternity of Shangri-La. Finding Forever together, may the Dark Carnival empower and ignite the Hero in you ALL..

In January 2014, ICP and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the FBI in Detroit Federal Court. Toward a timely corrective sociological account, this PaPer offers its findings derived from over ten years of concert fieldwork observation, hundreds of informal interviews, and in-depth (DVD, CD, band, and fan site) music media analysis. It provides a marginal insider-outsider account of ICP’s Dark Carnival, focused on its rituals, traditions, and mythology that create a Proto-utopian surrogate family of accePtance and belonging, identity reversal, and ethical guidance for many who have suffered from unpoPularity, abuse, other familial dysfunction, and/or who do not fit in where they are. Utilizing Bakhtinian carnival concePts, thick descriPtion and abundant quotation, the Paper exemPlifies sociology’s debunking quality, or the sociological axiom that things are often quite different than Presumed. The PaPer concludes by underscoring the troubling dangers of criminalization. Keywords: Carnival, Unpopularity, Rituals, Criminal Profiling, Sociological DeBunKing, BaKhtin, Surrogate Family.

" # $ %&"&' )&*+,,-$ '&* './&" Number Twelve fall 2011 The Shaltzes, The Juggalo IX‚, 2010, archival inkjet print, 24 × 36". American Juggalo Kent Russell ’d been driving for seventeen hours, much of it on two-lane I highways through Indiana and then southern Illinois. Red-green corn sidled closer to the road until it stooped over both shoulders. That early in the morning, a mist was tiding in the east. I figured I had to be close. A couple of times I turned off the state road to drive past family plots where the houses were white, right-angled ideals. On many of these plots were incongruous strips of grass—home- spun cemeteries. I wondered what it would be like to grow up in a place like this. Your livelihood would surround you, waving hello every time the wind picked up. You wouldn’t be able to see your neighbors, but you’d for sure know who they were. You’d go to one of the Protestant churches seeded in the corn, take off your Sunday best to shoot hoops over the garage, and drink an after-dinner beer on your porch swing, certain of your regular Americanness. And one day you’d get buried feet from where you lived, worked, and died. Doubt about the trip unfurled inside me as the odometer crawled on. I couldn’t have told you why I was doing this. Back on IL-1 I looked to my right and saw an upside-down SUV in the corn.
