Many gang researchers would answer this question with a resounding, yes. In fact, gangs have become an institution among minority populations, particularly, within Latino communities (Vigil 1993). Within the last forty years the United States has seen an explosion in youth “street gangs”. Gangs are everywhere; they exist in all fifty states (Egley 2005). The exact number is hard to determine (Howell 2000; Curry and Decker 1996); however, the National Youth Gang Survey-NYGS (2009) currently reports there are approximately 1 million gang members and over 20,000 active gangs in the United States (Put as a footnote These totals include both prison gangs and motorcycle gangs (NYGA 2009). Why has there been such a dramatic increase in gangs? The 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment (NGTA) suggest the proliferation of gangs is related to the increase of 1Throughout this dissertation, the word “gang” will refer to “youth gangs or street gang.” The term “gang homicides” will refer to incidents that involve gang members as victims and/or offenders. 1 new media technologies which gangs have adopted as new recruitment techniques, such as, cell phone texting, face book, MySpace and other social networks. Another contributing factor to the proliferation of street gangs is the blurred lines between prison and street gangs (Decker, 2001); formerly incarcerated gang members released into the community often maintain connections with other gang members still in prison and particular street gangs, such as the Bloods and the Crips has grown to be a part of prison life when street members enter the correctional system (McGloin 2005; OSBND 1991). Moreover, enhanced law enforcement reporting and improved gang awareness may have also contributed to an increase in the number of gang members identified by some law enforcement agencies with the percentage of law enforcement agencies reporting gang activity in their jurisdictions increased from 45 percent in 2004 to 58 percent in 2008 (NGTA 2009, p.5 ). Prior to the 1980s, problems with gangs were almost non-existent. Characterized as a minority problem; little attention was placed on the existence of gang prior and during the 1960s. Three federal commissioned studies2 on the nature, causes and treatment of crime, all concluded youth gangs were not of major concern; nor did they pose a significant threat to the populace (Miller 2001, p. 3). In the 1970s, only 20 states and 73 counties in the United States reported problems with youth gangs (Miller 2001, p.25). During 1985-1989, Oklahoma law enforcement agencies only reported three cities and six counties experiencing problems with gangs (Miller, 2001,

  • Estimating the Causal Effect of Gangs in Chicago†
    Competition in the Black Market: Estimating the Causal Effect of Gangs in Chicago† Bravo Working Paper # 2021-004 Jesse Bruhn † Abstract: I study criminal street gangs using new data that describes the geospatial distribution of gang territory in Chicago and its evolution over a 15-year period. Using an event study design, I show that city blocks entered by gangs experience sharp increases in the number of reported batteries (6%), narcotics violations (18.5%), weapons violations (9.8%), incidents of prostitution (51.9%), and criminal trespassing (19.6%). I also find a sharp reduction in the number of reported robberies (-8%). The findings cannot be explained by pre-existing trends in crime, changes in police surveillance, crime displacement, exposure to public housing demolitions, reporting effects, or demographic trends. Taken together, the evidence suggests that gangs cause small increases in violence in highly localized areas as a result of conflict over illegal markets. I also find evidence that gangs cause reductions in median property values (-$8,436.9) and household income (-$1,866.8). Motivated by these findings, I explore the relationship between the industrial organization of the black market and the supply of criminal activity. I find that gangs that are more internally fractured or operate in more competitive environments tend to generate more crime. This finding is inconsistent with simple, market-based models of criminal behavior, suggesting an important role for behavioral factors and social interactions in the production of gang violence.

  • Sociology Fights Organised Crime: the Story of the Chicago Area Project
    SGOC STUDYING GROUP ON ORGANISED CRIME https://sgocnet.org Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Original article Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Robert Lombardo* Abstract: This article studies the Chicago Area Project (CAP). Specifically, it studies the work of CAP in three of Chicago’s Italian immigrant communities: the Near North Side, the Near West Side, and the Near Northwest Side during the early 1900s. This article argues that the work of CAP prevented many young people from pursuing a life of organised adult crime and that research conducted in these communities has provided information crucial to our understanding of crime and delinquency including support for both social disorganisation and differential social organisation theory. The data for this research comes from published sources, newspaper accounts, and the CAP archives located in the special collections libraries of the University of Illinois, Chicago and the Chicago History Museum. The findings indicate that much of what we know about combating delinquency areas and the cultural transmission of delinquent values is based upon research conducted in Chicago’s Italian neighbourhoods, yet there is no mention of the Italian community’s efforts to fight juvenile delinquency in the scholarly literature, nor is there a recognition that the presence of adult criminality was a necessary element in Clifford Shaw’s original characterisation of social disorganisation theory.

  • The Weberian Gang: a Study of Three Chicago Gangs and New Conceptualization of Criminal Politics
    The Weberian Gang: A Study of Three Chicago Gangs and New Conceptualization of Criminal Politics By: Owen Elrifi Accessible at [email protected] A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree in: Public Policy Studies & Political Science Presented to: Faculty Advisor: Professor Benjamin Lessing, Department of Political Science Political Science Preceptor: Nicholas Campbell-Seremetis Public Policy Preceptor: Sayantan Saha Roy Department of Public Policy Studies Department of Political Science 1 Abstract This paper explores the classification of gangs as criminal actors and not as political actors. I propose that urban street gangs often resemble and reflect the actions of the Weberian state in their communities and that this makes them inherently political, even if they do not make explicitly political claims against the state. To test this, I develop a theoretical framework by which to compare gang characteristics to state characteristics. Through ethnographic case studies of three Chicagoan gangs in the latter half of the 20th century, I demonstrate the utility of my framework in analysis and evaluate the similarities between gangs and states. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS: Title Page 1 Abstract 2 Table of Contents 3 I.
