  • The Walking Dead Chop Shop Jay Chiat Awards Category: National Strategy
    HYUNDAI: THE WALKING DEAD CHOP SHOP JAY CHIAT AWARDS CATEGORY: NATIONAL STRATEGY BACKGROUND Hyundai has been on the rise with sales increasing by 89% from 2009–2012.1 The brand had built a solid reputation as a rational choice among average car shoppers. But among the highly desirable youth audience driven more by their interests and passions, reason alone wasn’t enough to get them excited about the Hyundai brand. 1Source: Experian Retail Registration 2009 – 2013; 2Source: GfK Quarterly Brand Tracking Studies 2013 Involve the Fans vs. Interrupting Them In the fall of 2013, Hyundai had product placement in the second season of The Walking Dead TV show as a way to build relevance among the show’s Gen Y audience. As the popularity of zombie culture grew, we decided to elevate the partnership with The Walking Dead to increase our relevance with this growing and passionate millennial fan base. However, this highly engaged and passionate Walking Dead youth fanbase didn’t want a brand to interrupt and commercialize their beloved show. So how do you make a rational car brand appealing to an emotionally driven fan audience? Our challenge was to involve the fans with the Hyundai brand and its cars in an authentic way that added value to their experience of The Walking Dead, and not interrupt them. OBJECTIVES & SUCCESS METRICS If we were going to involve the fans, we knew we had to motivate them to participate with us and eventually inspire them to help spread the word on behalf of the brand. OBJECTIVE #1: Engage the Fans to BUILD Demonstrate that the audience is spending more time participating with the Hyundai brand through the number of vehicles configured and built.

  • Making a Gang: Exporting US Criminal Capital to El Salvador
    Making a Gang: Exporting US Criminal Capital to El Salvador Maria Micaela Sviatschi Princeton University∗y March 31, 2020 Abstract This paper provides new evidence on how criminal knowledge exported from the US affect gang development. In 1996, the US Illegal Immigration Responsibility Act drastically increased the number of criminal deportations. In particular, the members of large Salvadoran gangs that developed in Los Angeles were sent back to El Salvador. Using variation in criminal depor- tations over time and across cohorts combined with geographical variation in the location of gangs and their members place of birth, I find that criminal deportations led to a large increase in Salvadoran homicide rates and gang activity, such as extortion and drug trafficking, as well as an increase in gang recruitment of children. In particular, I find evidence that children in their early teens when the leaders arrived are more likely to be involved in gang-related crimes when they are adults. I also find evidence that these deportations, by increasing gang violence in El Salvador, increase child migration to the US–potentially leading to more deportations. However, I find that in municipalities characterized by stronger organizational skills and social ties in the 1980s, before the deportation shocks, gangs of US origin are less likely to develop. In sum, this paper provides evidence on how deportation policies can backfire by disseminating not only ideas between countries but also criminal networks, spreading gangs across Central America and back into parts of the US. ∗I am grateful for the feedback I received from Roland Benabou, Leah Boustan, Chris Blattman, Zach Brown, Janet Currie, Will Dobbie, Thomas Fujiwara, Jonas Hjort, Ben Lessing, Bentley Macleod, Beatriz Magaloni, Eduardo Morales, Mike Mueller-Smith, Suresh Naidu, Kiki Pop-Eleches, Maria Fernanda Rosales, Violeta Rosenthal, Jake Shapiro, Carlos Schmidt-Padilla, Santiago Tobon, Miguel Urquiola, Juan Vargas, Tom Vogl, Leonard Wanchekon, Austin Wright and participants at numerous conferences and seminars.

The city of Ogden, Utah, is home to many gangs, and law enforcement is constantly looking for a way to decrease gang violence. In an attempt to reduce gang violence in Ogden, Judge Ernie Jones issued the Ogden Trece gang injunction on September 27, 2010, in Weber County, Utah. The injunction, based on several similar injunctions in California, affects hundreds of alleged Ogden Trece gang members and spans an area including virtually the entire city of Ogden. The injunction prohibits those enjoined from engaging in various illegal activities as well as many otherwise legal activities.

Safety Issues for EMS Part I FACTS ABOUT GANGS Gangs In History Gangs have been present throughout human history. Blackbeard and other pirates plundered the Caribbean during the 1600’s and 1700’s. The word “Thug” dates back to India from around 1200, and refers to a gang of criminals. Gangs In History Irish gangs were a part of riots in NYC during the 1860’s. Gangs like “The Hole in the Wall Gang” and Billy the Kid’s Gang robbed in the Southwest during the 1800’s. Gangs In History Picture from The United Northern and Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan website with members in Virginia. This from a 2007 cross lighting ceremony. Al Capone’s Organization and the Ku Klux Klan are examples of prominent gangs in the 1900’s. Gangs Today Many of today’s gangs can trace their roots to the later half of the 20th Century. El Salvador Civil War – 1980’s. The Sleepy Lagoon Boys – 1940’s Zoot Suit Riots. The “Truth” in Numbers There are at least 26,500 gangs and 785,000 gang members in the U.S.

  • Private Conflict, Local Organizations, and Mobilizing Ethnic Violence In
    Private Conflict, Local Organizations, and Mobilizing Ethnic Violence in Southern California Bradley E. Holland∗ Abstract Prominent research highlights links between group-level conflicts and low-intensity (i.e. non-militarized) ethnic violence. However, the processes driving this relationship are often less clear. Why do certain actors attempt to mobilize ethnic violence? How are those actors able to mobilize participation in ethnic violence? I argue that addressing these questions requires scholars to focus not only on group-level conflicts and tensions, but also private conflicts and local violent organizations. Private conflicts give certain members of ethnic groups incentives to mobilize violence against certain out-group adversaries. Institutions within local violent organizations allow them to mobilize participation in such violence. Promoting these selective forms of violence against out- group adversaries mobilizes indiscriminate forms of ethnic violence due to identification problems, efforts to deny adversaries access to resources, and spirals of retribution. I develop these arguments by tracing ethnic violence between blacks and Latinos in Southern California. In efforts to gain leverage in private conflicts, a group of Latino prisoners mobilized members of local street gangs to participate in selective violence against African American adversaries. In doing so, even indiscriminate forms of ethnic violence have become entangled in the private conflicts of members of local violent organizations. ∗Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, The Ohio State University, [email protected].

His wealth afforded him a luxurious mansion, expensive cars, and worldwide recognition as a cunning, calculating, and ruthless criminal mastermind. The rise of Escobar to power is like that of many other violent criminals before him. Indeed, as history has shown, major organized crime figures such as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano, the El Rukinses, Jeff Fort, and Abimael Guzmán, leader of Peru’s notorious Shining Path, were all aggressive criminals who built large criminal enterprises during their lives. The existence of these criminals and many others like them poses many unanswered questions about the cause and development of criminal behavior. Why are some criminals but not others involved with organized crime?
