On the East Coast, however, Mexican gangs are a recent phenomenon. In the past several years, East Coast cities have experienced an increase in the creation of gangs consisting of Mexican nationals. There are many experts who believe the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA), enacted in 1993, which promised an increase in the national employment rate of Mexico, is partly to blame for the

(excerpts from Territoriality Among African American Street Gangs in Los Angeles by Alex Alonso, PhD Candidate. In Los Angeles and other urban areas in the United States, the formation of street gangs increased at an alarming pace throughout the 1980s and 1990s. The Bloods and the Crips, the most well-known gangs of Los Angeles, are predominately African American[1] and they have steadily increased in number since their beginnings in 1969. In addition, there are approximately 600 Hispanic gangs in Los Angeles County with a growing Asian gang population numbering approximately 20,000 members. Surprisingly, little has been written about the historical background of black gangs in Los Angeles (LA). Literature and firsthand interviews with Los Ang

The tactic is designed to disperse young criminals who make drug deals at the bus stop or use public transportation to circulate between the mall and other trouble-prone places.The attack by Bach, Brahms and Beethoven follows the theory that prompted the city to stage pinochle games on dangerous street corners: Jolting the routine in such spots throws criminals off balance.“It’s based on routine activity theory and situational cri

Among the whoppers in this article are claims that fully automatic machine guns, grenades and grenade launchers are being sold to Mexican smugglers at...(read more)
GANG activity is on the rise in this country--disturbingly so. If something is not done about it, our streets will soon resemble those found in South Central L.A. Drive by shootings will become an every day occurrence. Extortion, anarchy and riotous behaviour will infect all neighbourhoods, ruining our way of life and gripping the nation in fear.
But what CAN be done and who is to blame for this terrifying rise in gang thuggery? I firmly believe that the following story courtesy of Newstopia gives us the answers we so desperately seek.

Gangs and criminal organizations come into creation for a number of reasons or motives. Usually they revolve around money, and use fear, crime and extortion. They can be loosely controlled with no apparent structure, or they can be highly efficient with military like organization. In contrast to general media conception, gangs have been around for centuries in one shape or another, the Chinese Triads for example were started as a resistance to the Manchu Emperor of the Qing Dynasty in the 1760s. Here are just 5 of the biggest gangs and criminal groups in existence today. The Crips The Crips are a primarily, but not exclusively, African American gang founded in Los Angeles, California in 1969 by 15 year old Raymond Washington. What was once a single gang is now a loosely connected network of individual sets, often engaged in open warfare with one another.

“SOME of the country’s most dangerous criminal gangs have put out a contract on a specially trained sniffer dog that has almost cleared a prison of illegal drugs.
Rocky, a two-year-old black-and-white spaniel, began his crime fighting career in Limerick Prison a fortnight ago and is proving to be a knockout success in the detection of drugs smuggled into the jail.
Such is the canine’s success rate that convicted criminals inside the jail frustrated with the drugs drought have ordered their associates in Limerick’s crime gangs to have the dog killed.
Last Thursday, some of the city’s most notorious criminals in the D2 wing of the jail staged a riot and smashed all their TVs in protest at the new recruit.
Convicted criminals have even attempted to take pictures of Rocky on their mobile phones and send it to gangs outside the jail so that contracted hitmen will recognise the drug- busting dog.”

The Freakonomics Blog has an interesting interview with Sudhir Venkatesh on the topic of gangs. The entire post is worth a read, but one question struck me as most interesting:Q: How do you define a gang?A: Great question. There are a few important legal cases where prosecutors tried to prosecute college fraternities as “gangs.” They suggested that the fraternity was an organization that existed to promote criminal behavior, such as the abuse of women and underage drinking. Most judges threw these cases out because they thought that fraternities were not, by definition, “gangs.” But judges rarely gave a logical reason for excluding (typically white) fraternities from the “gang category.”Indeed, by any valid social scientific definition of a gang — “an established organization whose members come together for solidarity reasons and who engage in delinquent and/or criminal activities” — a fraternity most certainly qualifies. But race, as we know, can be a factor in sha
Various stories of gang members being in the armed forces seem to be popping up everywhere over the last week or so. Not just in the blogosphere, but in local and national media outlets as well. “The public” is expressing shock and dismay that such a thing could occur, according to many of these reports. As usual, “how could this happen?” seems to be the question of the day. My question is, how could this not happen? The Army is just a really big gang, after all.
Before highlighting the similarities between a street gang and a government authorized gang, let’s look at how our armed forces are responding to this sudden awakening:

The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command reported 61 gang investigations and incidents last year, compared to just 9 in 2004.

As if public schools weren’t dangerous and chaotic enough. Public schools now have to deal with dodgy teachers lurking in the classrooms waiting to pounce on vulnerable students. Of course, the majority of public school teachers are not a threat to students, but the number of crimes being committed by teachers against students seems to be increasing. There appear to be more and more stories these days which would suggest this notion:
• Seth Canata, 33, a former history and boys track coach in New Jersey, faces a maximum of five years in prison for official misconduct and criminal sexual contact with a former female student.
• Twenty-five year old Amber Marshall pled guilty “to reduced charges stemming from having sex with two male students” (nwi.com). Marshall was sentenced to almost six years of formal probation and day reporting.

My father loves Bill O’Reilly. Hey, we all have our flaws.
Seriously though, I don’t mind O’Reilly that much. He doesn’t affect me because I don’t watch him nor do I really care about what he has to say on a daily basis. I don’t blindly judge him either, as some people do who have never even watched his show. I have watched it before, and therefore can make an honest, balanced assessment of him. I think that sometimes he makes some good points and other times he’s talking out of his ass. To me he’s like an old I Love Lucy rerun. If absolutely nothing else is on and it’s a pretty good episode, I’ll watch it, which happens maybe once a year. Otherwise, I could care less if I miss it.
Last weekend my father was visiting and stayed with my girlfriend and I. My father and I ended up relaxing on the couch after a happy hour stint at his favorite hang out, and of course he wanted to catch O’Reilly. So, I humored him. It just so

(Timesonline).- Shiraz Ahmed was tending his music store in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, when a group of 15 bearded young men walked in bearing bamboo poles and a chilling message. Politely but firmly, they instructed him to take down the colourful array of Bollywood and bhangradance tunes on display and to restrict his business to Islamic music. Until last week he might not have worried about these men from Islamabad’s Lal Masjid (Red Mosque). After all, his shop is legal and within walking distance of Pervez Musharraf’s presidential palace. But this was just one of several signs in the past ten days that a creeping campaign to “Talebanise” Pakistan has spread from tribal areas on the Afghan border right to the heart of the capital. More
Crewe hasn't got a gang problem, has it? I've heard of a few rucks, a bit of bother here and there, plus a few friends getting caught up in trouble. But it's small-scale stuff, isn't it? I noticed this bit of graffiti the other day, on Rainbow Street off Ford Lane that leads up to West Street. On the wall of the recently re-opened White Lion pub was a WEW tag, the West End Warriors, or West End Wu-Tang? I don't know. But, a few yards down, there was the above tag sprayed onto the wall. Alton Street, for those who know the layout of Crewe, is a good mile and a half away. This was Alton Street lads (the Alton Army) making their mark. Audacious, lads' prank, or turf war in the making?
