During the month of September, my focus will be on gangs. Mostly street gangs, such as the Bloods, the Crips, the Mexican Mafia, the Black Disciples, Gangster Disciples and many others. Gangs seem to be a part of every state and every large city. They are in places you don’t expect them to be. It has become an overwhelming problem that needs to be addressed. As with the mafia, it used to be hard to convict them and keep them in prison. But since RICO came about, it has made it much easier.
According to the FBI:
About 30,000 violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs with approximately 800,000 members operate in the U.S. today.
