2011 National Gang Threat Assessment – Emerging Trends
view printable version (pdf) 
The gang estimates
presented in the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment (NGTA) represent
the collection of data provided by the National Drug Intelligence Center
(NDIC) through the National Drug Threat Survey, Bureau of Prisons,
State Correctional Facilities, and National Gang Intelligence Center
(NGIC) law enforcement partners. An overview of how these numbers were
collected is described within the Scope and Methodology Section of the
NGTA. The estimates were provided on a voluntary basis and may include
estimates of gang members as well as gang associates. Likewise, these
estimates may not capture gang membership in jurisdictions that may have
underreported or that declined to report. Based on these estimates,
geospatial maps were prepared to visually display the reporting
jurisdictions.
The data used to calculate street gangs and outlaw motorcycle gang estimates nationwide in the report are derived primarily from NDIC’s National Drug Threat Survey. These estimates do not affect the qualitative findings of the 2011 NGTA and were used primarily to create the maps highlighting gang activity nationally. After further review of these estimates, the maps originally provided in 2011 NGTA were revised to show state-level representation of gang activity per capita and by law enforcement officers. This maintains consistency with the 2009 NGTA report’s maps on gang activity. During the years the NGTA is published, many entities—news media, tourism agencies, and other groups with an interest in crime in our nation—use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rankings, however, do not provide insight into the many variables that mold the crime in a particular town, city, county, state, region, or other jurisdiction. Consequently, these rankings lead to simplistic and or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting cities and counties, along with residents. The FBI and the NGIC do not recommend that jurisdictions use the estimated gang membership totals as exact counts for the numbers of gang members. These numbers are not used by the FBI or NGIC to rank jurisdictions on gang activity. The FBI and NGIC recommend contacting state and local law enforcement agencies for more information related to specific gang activity.
The National Gang
Intelligence Center (NGIC) prepared the 2011 National Gang Threat
Assessment (NGTA) to examine emerging gang trends and threats posed by
criminal gangs to communities throughout the United States. The 2011
NGTA enhances and builds on the gang-related trends and criminal threats
identified in the 2009 assessment. It supports US Department of Justice
strategic objectives 2.2 (to reduce the threat, incidence, and
prevalence of violent crime) and 2.4 (to reduce the threat, trafficking,
use, and related violence of illegal drugs). The assessment is based on
federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and corrections
agency intelligence, including information and data provided by the
National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) and the National Gang Center.
Additionally, this assessment is supplemented by information retrieved
from open source documents and data collected through April 2011.
In 2009, the NGIC
released its second threat assessment on gang activity in the United
States. The NGIC and its law enforcement partners documented increases
in gang proliferation and migration nationwide and emerging
threats. This report attempts to expand on these findings. Reporting and
intelligence collected over the past two years have demonstrated
increases in the number of gangs and gang members as law enforcement
authorities nationwide continue to identify gang members and share
information regarding these groups. Better reporting and collection has
contributed greatly to the increased documentation and reporting of gang
members and gang trends.
Information in
the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment-Emerging Trends was derived
from law enforcement intelligence, open source information, and data
collected from the NDIC, including the 2010 NDIC National Drug Threat
Survey (NDTS). NGIC law enforcement partners provided information and
guidance regarding new trends and intelligence through an online request
for information via the NGIC Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Special
Interest Group (SIG), which is now NGIC Online. Law enforcement agencies
nationwide continuously report new and emerging gang trends to the
NGIC, as the NGIC continues to operate as a repository and dissemination
hub for gang intelligence. This information provided by our law
enforcement partners was used to identify many of the trends and issues
included in this report.
Reporting used
to quantify the number of street and outlaw motorcycle gangs and gang
members was primarily derived from the 2010 NDIC NDTS data and some
supplemental NGIC reporting from our law enforcement partners. NDIC
annually conducts the NDTS to collect data on the threat posed by
various illicit drugs in the United States. A stratified random sample
of nearly 3,500 state and local law enforcement agencies was surveyed to
generate national, regional, and state estimates of various aspects of
drug trafficking activities including the threat posed by various drugs,
the availability and production of illicit drugs, as well as the role
of street gangs and outlaw motorcycle gangs in drug trafficking
activity. Weighted national, regional, and state-level statistical
estimates derived from NDTS 2010 data was based on responses received
from 2,963 law enforcement agencies out of a sample of 3,465 agencies.
In previous
iterations of the NDTS, survey responses were validated through targeted
outreach to jurisdictions. In the 2010 NDTS, the key assumption was
that individual respondents provided estimates on gang members for their
jurisdictions only and did not include other jurisdictions. However,
NGIC acknowledges that there may be some duplication or underreporting
of gang members because of variations in each jurisdiction’s process to
estimate gang activity.
In calculating
the number of street and outlaw motorcycle gang members, respondents in
each region were asked to select from a series of ranges of numbers. The
median numbers of each range were aggregated to generate an estimate
for the total number of gang members. In calculating the number of
street and outlaw motorcycle gangs, the low end of each range was
aggregated to generate an estimate for the total number of gangs and
gang members. Prison gang member estimates were derived directly from
the US Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and state correctional
institutions across the country.
The NGIC was established
by Congress in 2005 to support law enforcement agencies through timely
and accurate information sharing and strategic/tactical analysis of
federal, state, and local law enforcement information focusing on the
growth, migration, criminal activity, and association of gangs that pose
a significant threat to communities throughout the United States. The
NGIC is comprised of representatives from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), US Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), US Bureau of
Prisons (BOP), United States Marshals Service (USMS), US Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), US Department of Defense (DOD), National
Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), and US Customs and Border Protection
(CBP). This multi-agency fusion center integrates gang intelligence
assets to serve as a central intelligence resource for gang information
and analytical support.
To assist in the
sharing of gang intelligence with law enforcement, the NGIC has
established NGIC Online, an information system comprised of a set of
web-based tools designed for researching gang-related intelligence and
sharing of information with federal, state, local and tribal law
enforcement partners. The system’s Request for Information (RFI) portal
encourages users to contribute new data as well as conduct gang research
through custom threat assessments and/or liaison with NGIC’s network of
national subject matter experts. NGIC Online functions include RFI
submissions and responses; Gang Encyclopedia WIKI; General Intelligence
Library; and a Signs, Symbols, and Tattoos (SST) database with user
submissions.
Regional Breakdown:
Data in this assessment are presented according to the FBI’s Safe Streets Gang Task Force regions.
Gangs continue to commit
criminal activity, recruit new members in urban, suburban, and rural
regions across the United States, and develop criminal associations that
expand their influence over criminal enterprises, particularly
street-level drug sales. The most notable trends for 2011 have been the
overall increase in gang membership, and the expansion of criminal
street gangs’ control of street-level drug sales and collaboration with
rival gangs and other criminal organizations.a
Gangs are expanding,
evolving and posing an increasing threat to US communities nationwide.
Many gangs are sophisticated criminal networks with members who are
violent, distribute wholesale quantities of drugs, and develop and
maintain close working relationships with members and associates of
transnational criminal/drug trafficking organizations. Gangs are
becoming more violent while engaging in less typical and lower-risk
crime, such as prostitution and white-collar crime. Gangs are more
adaptable, organized, sophisticated, and opportunistic, exploiting new
and advanced technology as a means to recruit, communicate discretely,
target their rivals, and perpetuate their criminal activity. Based on
state, local, and federal law enforcement reporting, the NGIC concludes
that:
Gang membership continues
to expand throughout communities nationwide, as gangs evolve, adapt to
new threats, and form new associations. Consequently, gang-related crime
and violence is increasing as gangs employ violence and intimidation to
control their territory and illicit operations. Many gangs have
advanced beyond their traditional role as local retail drug distributors
in large cities to become more organized, adaptable, and influential in
large-scale drug trafficking. Gang members are migrating from urban
areas to suburban and rural communities to recruit new members, expand
their drug distribution territories, form new alliances, and collaborate
with rival gangs and criminal organizations for profit and influence.
Local neighborhood, hybrid and female gang membership is on the rise in
many communities. Prison gang members, who exert control over many
street gang members, often engage in crime and violence upon their
return to the community. Gang members returning to the community from
prison have an adverse and lasting impact on neighborhoods, which may
experience notable increases in crime, violence, and drug trafficking.
Gang Membership and Expansionb
Approximately 1.4 million
active street, OMG, and prison gang members, comprising more than
33,000 gangs, are criminally active within all 50 US states, the
District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (see Appendix A). This represents a
40 percent increase from an estimated 1 million gang members in 2009.
The NGIC attributes this increase in gang membership primarily to
improved reporting, more aggressive recruitment efforts by gangs, the
formation of new gangs, new opportunities for drug trafficking, and
collaboration with rival gangs and drug trafficking organizations
(DTOs). Law enforcement in several jurisdictions also attribute the
increase in gang membership in their region to the gangster rap culture,
the facilitation of communication and recruitment through the Internet
and social media, the proliferation of generational gang members, and a
shortage of resources to combat gangs.
More
than half of NGIC law enforcement partners report an increase in
gang-related criminal activity in their jurisdictions over the past two
years. Neighborhood-based gangs continue to pose the greatest threat in
most jurisdictions nationwide.

Gang-Related Violent Crime
Gang-related crime and
violence continues to rise. NGIC analysis indicates that gang members
are responsible for an average of 48 percent of violent crime in most
jurisdictions and much higher in others. Some jurisdictions in Arizona,
California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Texas
report that gangs are responsible for at least 90 percent of crime. A
comparison of FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) 2009 violent crime data
and 2010 NGIC gang data illustrates that regions experiencing the most
violent crime—including southern California, Texas, and Florida—also
have a substantial gang presence (see Figure 1 and Map 1). Street gangs
are involved in a host of violent criminal activities, including
assault, drug trafficking, extortion, firearms offenses, home invasion
robberies, homicide, intimidation, shootings, and weapons trafficking.
NDIC reporting indicates that gang control over drug distribution and
disputes over drug territory has increased, which may be responsible for
the increase in violence in many areas. Conflict between gangs, gang
migration into rival gang territory, and the release of incarcerated
gang members back into the community has also resulted in an increase in
gang-related crime and violence in many jurisdictions, according to
NGIC reporting.

intelligence from its law enforcement partners nationwide in an effort
to capture the criminal threat posed by national-level street, prison,
outlaw motorcycle, and neighborhood-based gangs in their communities.
The following chart represents the percentage of gang involvement in
crime.
 *Responses of unknown rates of gang involvement are not visually represented in this chart. Source: 2011 NGIC data
According to
National Youth Gang Survey reporting, larger cities and suburban
counties accounted for the majority of gang-related violence and more
than 96 percent of all gang homicides in 2009.1 As previous
studies have indicated, neighborhood-based gangs and drug crews continue
to pose the most significant criminal threat in these regions.
Gang-Related Drug Distribution and Trafficking
Gang involvement and
control of the retail drug trade poses a serious threat to public safety
and stability in most major cities and in many mid-size cities because
such distribution activities are routinely associated with lethal
violence. Violent disputes over control of drug territory and
enforcement of drug debts frequently occur among gangs in both urban and
suburban areas, as gangs expand their control of drug distribution in
many jurisdictions, according to NDIC and NGIC reporting. In 2010, law
enforcement agencies in 51 major US cities reported moderate to
significant levels of gang-related drug activity.
NDIC survey data indicates that 69 percent of US law enforcement agencies report gang involvement in drug distribution.
NDIC reporting
suggests that gangs are advancing beyond their traditional role as local
retail drug distributors in large cities and becoming more influential
in large-scale drug trafficking, resulting in an increase in violent
crime in several regions of the country.4
Gang involvement
in drug trafficking has also resulted in the expansion and migration of
some gangs into new US communities, according to NDIC reporting.

Juvenile Gangs
Many jurisdictions are experiencing an increase in juvenile gangsd
and violence, which is often attributed, in part, to the increased
incarceration rates of older members and the aggressive recruitment of
juveniles in schools. Gangs have traditionally targeted youths because
of their vulnerability and susceptibility to recruitment tactics, as
well as their likelihood of avoiding harsh criminal sentencing and
willingness to engage in violence.
NGIC
reporting indicates that juvenile gangs are responsible for a majority
of crime in various jurisdictions in Arizona, California, Connecticut,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North
Carolina, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and
Washington.
Gang Alliances and Collaboration
Collaboration between
rival gangs and criminal organizations and increased improvement in
communications, transportation, and technology have enabled
national-level gangs to expand and secure their criminal networks
throughout the United States and in other countries.
Gang Sophistication
Gang members are becoming
more sophisticated in their structure and operations and are modifying
their activity to minimize law enforcement scrutiny and circumvent gang
enhancement laws. Gangs in several jurisdictions have modified or ceased
traditional or stereotypical gang indicia and no longer display their
colors, tattoos, or hand signs. Others are forming hybrid gangs to avoid
police attention and make to it more difficult for law enforcement to
identify and monitor them, according to NGIC reporting. Many gangs are
engaging in more sophisticated criminal schemes, including white-collar
and cyber crime, targeting and infiltrating sensitive systems to gain
access to sensitive areas or information, and targeting and monitoring
law enforcement.
Law enforcement officials
in jurisdictions nationwide report an expansion of African, Asian,
Eurasian, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern gangs, according to NGIC
reporting. Many communities are also experiencing increases in hybrid
and non-traditional gangs.
Asian Gangs
Asian gangs, historically
limited to regions with large Asian populations, are expanding
throughout communities nationwide. Although often considered street
gangs, Asian gangs operate similar to Asian Criminal Enterprises with a
more structured organization and hierarchy. They are not turf-oriented
like most African-American and Hispanic street gangs and typically
maintain a low profile to avoid law enforcement scrutiny. Asian gang
members are known to prey on their own race and often develop a
relationship with their victims before victimizing them.5 Law
enforcement officials have limited knowledge of Asian gangs and often
have difficulty penetrating these gangs because of language barriers and
gang distrust of non-Asians.6
Law
enforcement officials in California, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Montana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Wisconsin
report a significant increase in Asian gangs in their jurisdictions.
Asian gangs are
involved in a host of criminal activities to include violent crime, drug
and human trafficking, and white-collar crime.
Some law
enforcement agencies attribute the recent increase in Asian gang
membership in their jurisdictions to the recruitment of non-Asian
members into the gang in order to compete more effectively with other
street gangs for territory and dominance of illicit markets.
East African Gangs
Somali Gangs
Somali gang presence has
increased in several cities throughout the United States. Somali gangs
are most prevalent in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota; San Diego,
California; and Seattle, Washington areas, primarily as a result of
proximity to the Mexican and Canadian borders, according to ICE, NGIC,
and law enforcement reporting. Somali gang activity has also been
reported in other cities throughout the United States such as Nashville,
Tennessee; Clarkston, Georgia; Columbus, Ohio; East Brunswick, New
Jersey; and Tucson, Arizona. Unlike most traditional street gangs,
Somali gangs tend to align and adopt gang names based on clan or tribe,
although a few have joined national gangs such as the Crips and Bloods.
NGIC
reporting indicates that East African gangs are present in at least 30
jurisdictions, including those in California, Georgia, Minnesota, Ohio,
Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
Somalian gangs
are involved in drug and weapons trafficking, human trafficking, credit
card fraud, prostitution, and violent crime. Homicides involving Somali
victims are often the result of clan feuds between gang members. Sex
trafficking of females across jurisdictional and state borders for the
purpose of prostitution is also a growing trend among Somalian gangs.
Figure 3. Somali Outlaws set in Minneapolis, MN

Although some
Somali gangs adopt Bloods or Crips gang monikers, they typically do not
associate with other African-American gangs. Somali nationals—mostly
refugees displaced by the war(s) in Somalia and surrounding
countries—tend to migrate to specific low-income communities, which are
often heavily controlled by local Bloods and Crips street gangs. The
Somali youth may emulate the local gangs, which frequently leads to
friction with other gangs, such as Bloods and Crips, as well as with
Ethiopian gangs.
Sudanese Gangs
Sudanese gangs in the
United States have been expanding since 2003 and have been reported in
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Tennessee.
Some Sudanese gang members have weapons and tactical knowledge from
their involvement in conflicts in their native country.
Caribbean Gangs
Although largely confined
to the East Coast, Caribbean gangs, such as Dominican, Haitian, and
Jamaican gangs, are expanding in a number of communities throughout the
United States.
Dominican Gangs
The Trinitarios, the most
rapidly-expanding Caribbean gang and the largest Dominican gang, are a
violent prison gang with members operating on the street. The
Trinitarios are involved in homicide, violent assaults, robbery, theft,
home invasions, and street-level drug distribution. Although predominate
in New York and New Jersey, the Trinitarios have expanded to
communities throughout the eastern United States, including Georgia,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. Dominicans Don’t Play
(DDP), the second largest Dominican gang based in Bronx, New York, are
known for their violent machete attacks and drug trafficking activities
in Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
An increase in
the Dominican population in several eastern US jurisdictions has
resulted in the expansion and migration of Dominican gangs such as the
Trinitarios. This has led to an increase in drug trafficking, robberies,
violent assaults in the Tri-state area.
Figure 4. Trinitarios Insignia

Haitian Gangs
Haitian gangs, such as
the Florida-based Zoe Pound, have proliferated in many states primarily
along the East Coast in recent years according to NGIC reporting.
According to NGIC reporting, Haitian gangs are present in Connecticut,
Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas.
Jamaican Gangs
Traditional Jamaican
gangs operating in the United States are generally unsophisticated and
lack a significant hierarchical structure, unlike gangs in Jamaica. Many
active Jamaican gangs operating in the United States maintain ties to
larger criminal organizations and gangs in Jamaica, such as the Shower
Posse or the Spangler Posse. Jamaican gang members in the United States
engage in drug and weapons trafficking.
NGIC reporting indicates that Jamaican gangs are most active in California, Maryland, Missouri, and New Jersey.
Non-Traditional Gangs
Hybrid Gangs
The expansion of hybrid
gangs—non-traditional gangs with multiple affiliations—is a continued
phenomenon in many jurisdictions nationwide. Because of their multiple
affiliations, ethnicities, migratory nature, and nebulous structure,
hybrid gangs are difficult to track, identify, and target as they are
transient and continuously evolving. Furthermore, these multi-ethnic,
mixed-gender gangs pose a unique challenge to law enforcement because
they are adopting national symbols and gang members often crossover from
gang to gang. Hybrid gangs are of particular concern to law enforcement
because members often escalate their criminal activity in order to gain
attention and respect.
Hybrid gangs,
which are present in at least 25 states, are fluid in size and
structure, yet tend to adopt similar characteristics of larger urban
gangs, including their own identifiers, rules, and recruiting methods.11 Like most street gangs, hybrid gang members commit a multitude of street and violent crime.12
Law enforcement reporting suggests that hybrid gangs have evolved from
neighborhood crews that formed to expand drug trafficking, or from an
absence of or loyalty to nationally recognized gangs in their region.
Juggalos
The Juggalos, a
loosely-organized hybrid gang, are rapidly expanding into many US
communities. Although recognized as a gang in only four states, many
Juggalos subsets exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal
activity and violence. Law enforcement officials in at least 21 states
have identified criminal Juggalo sub-sets, according to NGIC reporting.e
Most crimes
committed by Juggalos are sporadic, disorganized, individualistic, and
often involve simple assault, personal drug use and possession, petty
theft, and vandalism. However, open source reporting suggests that a
small number of Juggalos are forming more organized subsets and engaging
in more gang-like criminal activity, such as felony assaults, thefts,
robberies, and drug sales. Social networking websites are a popular
conveyance for Juggalo sub-culture to communicate and expand.
Juggalos’
disorganization and lack of structure within their groups, coupled with
their transient nature, makes it difficult to classify them and identify
their members and migration patterns. Many criminal Juggalo sub-sets
are comprised of transient or homeless individuals, according to law
enforcement reporting. Most Juggalo criminal groups are not motivated to
migrate based upon traditional needs of a gang. However, law
enforcement reporting suggests that Juggalo criminal activity has
increased over the past several years and has expanded to several other
states. Transient, criminal Juggalo groups pose a threat to communities
due to the potential for violence, drug use/sales, and their general
destructive and violent nature.

Gang involvement in alien
smuggling, human trafficking, and prostitution is increasing primarily
due to their higher profitability and lower risks of detection and
punishment than that of drug and weapons trafficking. Over the past
year, federal, state, and local law enforcement officials in at least 35
states and US territories have reported that gangs in their
jurisdictions are involved in alien smuggling, human trafficking, or
prostitution.f
Alien Smuggling
Many street gangs are
becoming involved in alien smuggling as a source of revenue. According
to US law enforcement officials, tremendous incentive exists for gangs
to diversify their criminal enterprises to include alien smuggling,
which can be more lucrative and less risky than the illicit drug trade.
Over the past two years numerous federal, state, and local law
enforcement agencies nationwide have reported gang involvement in
incidents of alien smuggling. In some instances, gang members were among
those being smuggled across the border into the United States following
deportation. In other cases, gang members facilitated the movement of
migrants across the US-Mexico border.g
Figure 6. An immigrant is smuggled in a vehicle
 Source: FBI
The Barrio Azteca,
Mexican Mafia, MS-13, 18th Street Gang, and Somali gangs have all
reportedly been involved in alien smuggling, according to NGIC and law
enforcement reporting.
Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is
another source of revenue for some gangs. Victims—typically women and
children—are often forced, coerced, or led with fraudulent pretense into
prostitution and forced labor.16 The Bloods, MS-13, Sureños,
and Somali gangs have been reportedly involved in human trafficking,
according to multiple law enforcement and NGIC reporting.
Prostitution
Prostitution is
also a major source of income for many gangs. Gang members often
operate as pimps, luring or forcing at-risk, young females into
prostitution and controlling them through violence and psychological
abuse.h Asian gangs, Bloods, Crips, Gangster Disciples,
MS-13, Sureños, Vice Lords, and members of OMGs are involved in
prostitution operations, according to FBI, NGIC, and multiple law
enforcement reporting.
NGIC
law enforcement partners report that gangs in their jurisdiction are
involved in prostitution, some of which involves child prostitution.
Gangs & Drug Trafficking Organizations
Many US-based gangs have
established strong working relationships with Central America and
Mexico-based DTOs to perpetuate the smuggling of drugs across the
US-Mexico and US-Canada borders. MDTOs control most of the cocaine,
heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana trafficked into the United States
from Mexico and regularly employ lethal force to protect their drug
shipments in Mexico and while crossing the US-Mexico border, according
to NGIC and NDIC reporting.i
Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations
MDTOs are among the most
prominent DTOs largely because of their control over the production of
most drugs consumed in the United States. They are known to regularly
collaborate with US-based street and prison gang members and
occasionally work with select OMG and White Supremacist groups, purely
for financial gain (see Appendix B). The prospect of financial gain is
resulting in the suspension of traditional racial and ideological
division among US prison gangs, providing MDTOs the means to further
expand their influence over drug trafficking in the United States.19
NDIC reporting indicates that Hispanic and African American street
gangs are expanding their influence over drug distribution in rural and
suburban areas and acquire drugs directly from MDTOs in Mexico or along
the Southwest border.20
NGIC law enforcement partners report that gangs in their jurisdiction have ties to Mexican criminal organizations, such as MDTOs.
Figure 7. Mexican Drug Cartels
 Source: Stratfor Global Intelligence
MDTOs contract
with street and prison gangs along the Southwest border to enforce and
secure smuggling operations in Mexico and the United States,
particularly in California and Texas border communities.23
Gang members who are US citizens are valuable to MDTOs, as they can
generally cross the US-Mexico border with less law enforcement scrutiny
and are therefore less likely to have illicit drug loads interdicted.24
MDTOs use street and prison gang members in Mexico, Texas, and
California to protect smuggling routes, collect debts, transport illicit
goods, including drugs and weapons, and execute rival traffickers.25
Many of these crimes are committed in exchange for money and drugs, and
as a result, street and prison gangs in the United States have gained
greater control over drug distribution in rural and suburban areas. Gang
members, including Barrio Azteca, MS-13 and Sureños have been
intercepted driving with weapons and currency toward Mexico from such
states as California, Colorado, Georgia, and Texas according to open
source reporting.
Gangs’ increased
collaboration with MDTOs has altered the dynamics of the drug trade at
the wholesale level. US gangs, which traditionally served as the primary
organized retail or mid-level distributor of drugs in most major US
cities, are now purchasing drugs directly from the cartels, thereby
eliminating the mid-level wholesale dealer. Furthermore, advanced
technology, such as wireless Internet and Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) capabilities, has made the recruitment, collaboration, and
coordination of criminal activity more efficient and lucrative, and
allows direct contact between the gangs and DTOs.26 To
increase their control over drug trafficking in smaller markets, street
gangs have acquired large wholesale quantities of drugs at lower prices
directly from DTOs in Mexico and along the US Southwest border.27
Gangs and Organized Criminal Groups
January 2010 FBI
reporting indicates that some OMGs and street gangs are closely
collaborating with African, Asian, Eurasian, and Italian organized
criminal groups to facilitate street-level crimes such as extortion,
enforcement, debt collection, and money laundering.
NGIC reporting
indicates that some gangs are suspected of associating with African,
Asian, and Eurasian criminal groups in California and Washington.j
Chart 3. Gang Associations with Criminal Organizations
The NGIC collected
intelligence from law enforcement officials nationwide in an effort to
identify associations between gangs and criminal organizations. The
following figures represent the percentage of law enforcement who report
that gangs in their jurisdiction have ties to various criminal
organizations.
 *Percentages are based on NGIC data.
Prison gang-related crime
and violence in the nation’s corrections system poses a significant
threat to facility employees and a growing threat in many communities.
Once incarcerated, most street gang members join an established prison
gang to ensure their protection. Based on data provided by federal and
state correctional agencies, the NGIC estimates that there are
approximately 230,000 gang members incarcerated in federal and state
prisons nationwide. Their large numbers and dominant presence allows
prison gangs to employ bribery, intimidation, and violence to exert
influence and control over many correctional facilities. Violent
disputes over control of drug territory and enforcement of drug debts
frequently occur among incarcerated gang members.
Figure 8. A US prison yard
Prison/Street Gang Connections
Many incarcerated gang
members continue to engage in gang activities following incarceration
and use their connections inside prison to commit crime in the
community. Prison gang members influence and control gang activity on
the street, and exploit street gangs for money and other resources.
Figure 9. Incarcerated MS-13 Members
Law enforcement officials report associations between street gang members and incarcerated gang members in their area.
Prison/Family Connection
A gang member’s
incarceration often prompts his or her family to move closer to the
correctional facility where the gang member is being housed. In some
cases, family members assist or facilitate gang criminal activity and
recruiting.
Family members
of gangs operate as outside facilitators, serving as messengers, drug
couriers, or in any capacity benefiting the gang. Outside facilitators
are provided instructions by the incarcerated gang member, often during a
social or legal visit, and in turn pass this information to gang
members on the streets. Family members have also been used to assist
prison escapes and smuggle contraband into correctional facilities,
allowing incarcerated gang members to continue their operations inside
prison.
Communication
Incarcerated gang members
often rely on family, friends, corrupt lawyers and corrections
personnel to transmit their messages to gang members on the street.
Incarcerated gang members exploit attorney-client privileges, which
include unmonitored visiting and legal mail, to pass coded or concealed
communications.k
Contraband Cell Phones
Smuggled cell phones are a
continuing problem for prison administrators in correctional facilities
throughout the country. Smuggled cell phones and Smart Phones afford
incarcerated gang members more influence and control over street gangs
through unrestricted access and unmonitored conversations via voice
calling, Internet access, text messaging, email, and social networking
websites. Instances of violence directed by inmates using mobile devices
are also a growing concern for corrections officials. Incarcerated gang
members communicate covertly with illegal cell phones to plan or direct
criminal activities such as drug distribution, assault, and murder.
Cell
phones smuggled into correctional facilities pose the greatest threat
to institution safety, according to NGIC and BOP reporting.
Leadership
Gang members who have
been incarcerated are often more respected on the streets by younger
gang members, which makes it easier to establish or re-establish
themselves in leadership positions and order younger gang members to
commit crimes.l These gang leaders also use connections made
in prison to establish contacts and criminal networks in the community,
which allows them to more successfully control gang operations. Also, in
the wake of leadership disorganization at the street level due to
indictments and arrests, a released gang member may find it easy to use
his influence and status as an ‘original gangster’ (OG) or Veterano to
assume control of the gang.
Law
enforcement officials report that released prison gang members in some
jurisdictions are establishing or re-establishing leadership roles or
active roles in local gangs.
Prison Radicalization
Gang members’
vulnerability to radicalization and recruitment for involvement in
international or domestic terrorism organizations is a growing concern
to law enforcement. Gang members’ perceptions of disenfranchisement from
or rejection of mainstream society and resentment towards authority
makes them more susceptible to joining such groups and can be attractive
and easy targets for radicalization by extremist groups.
NGIC reporting indicates that incarcerated gang members in some jurisdictions are adopting radical religious views in prison.
Prison gangs
that tend to be dedicated to political or social issues are often more
susceptible to influence by extremist ideologies. In some instances,
prison gang members may even emulate various terrorist movements by
embracing their symbolism and ideology to enhance the gang’s own
militant image within the prison setting.
Prison and
street gang members are also susceptible on an individual basis to
radicalization. Various correctional agencies have reported individual
members of the Black Peace Stones, Crips, Latin Kings, and Insane Latin
Disciples embracing radical ideologies.
Gang infiltration of law
enforcement, government, and correctional agencies poses a significant
security threat due to the access criminals have to sensitive
information pertaining to investigations or protected persons. Gang
members serving in law enforcement agencies and correctional facilities
may compromise security and criminal investigations and operations,
while acquiring knowledge and training in police tactics and weapons.
Corrupt law enforcement officers and correctional staff have assisted
gang members in committing crimes and have impeded investigations.
NGIC
reporting indicates that gang members in at least 57 jurisdictions,
including California, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia, have applied for
or gained employment within judicial, police, or correctional agencies.
NGIC
reporting indicates that gang members in at least 72 jurisdictions have
compromised or corrupted judicial, law enforcement, or correctional
staff within the past three years.
Native American gang
presence has increased on Indian Reservations and in federal and state
prison systems throughout the United States over the past few years,
according to Bureau of Justice Statistics reporting.36,m
Native American gang members, operating on numerous reservations
throughout the United States, are emulating Hispanic gangs such as the
Barrio Aztecas, Norteños, and Sureños; African American gangs such as
the Bloods and Crips; and predominately Caucasian gangs such as the
Juggalos. Some gangs, such as the Native Mob and Native Pride—which
primarily operates in North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and
Wisconsin—formed in the prison system and then expanded to reservations,
according to NGIC reporting. Although most gangs in Indian Country are
disorganized, lack significant structure and ties to national-level
gangs, and are incapable of attaining control over large geographic
areas or populations, some are involved in serious crimes and violent
activities and utilize Indian Reservations to facilitate and expand
their drug operations.
The growth of gangs on Indian Reservations is heavily influenced by the urban gang culture and media attention. Gang members on Indian Reservations often emulate national-level gangs and adopt names and identifiers from nationally recognized urban gangs. However, emulation is most often limited to identifiers—colors, signs, symbols, names—and leadership structure is often loosely organized or absent. NGIC reporting indicates that national-level gangs such as the Barrio Azteca, Bloods, Crips, Mexican Mafia, and Norteños are operating on a number of Indian Reservations. Native American gang members on reservations are also involved in gang-related activity with gang members in communities outside of reservations.
NGIC
reporting indicates that urban gangs such as the Norteños and Sureños
associate and/or influence the gang culture on several Indian
Reservations.
In some
jurisdictions, Native American gang members are associated with or
involved in gang-related criminal activity with gang members off the
reservation, including drug distribution, money laundering, assaults,
and intimidation. Partnerships are often established for financial gain,
drug distribution, and to evade law enforcement.

Geography, as
well as the extent of law enforcement monitoring of the reservations,
make some Indian Reservations conducive to cross-border drug
trafficking.
Gang recruitment of
active duty military personnel constitutes a significant criminal threat
to the US military. Members of nearly every major street gang, as well
as some prison gangs and OMGs, have been reported on both domestic and
international military installations, according to NGIC analysis and
multiple law enforcement reporting. Through transfers and deployments,
military-affiliated gang members expand their culture and operations to
new regions nationwide and worldwide, undermining security and law
enforcement efforts to combat crime. Gang members with military training
pose a unique threat to law enforcement personnel because of their
distinctive weapons and combat training skills and their ability to
transfer these skills to fellow gang members.
NGIC
reporting indicates that law enforcement officials in at least 100
jurisdictions have come into contact with, detained, or arrested an
active duty or former military gang member within the past three years.
 Figure 12. A soldier in a combat zone throwing gang signs 
Many street gang
members join the military to escape the gang lifestyle or as an
alternative to incarceration, but often revert back to their gang
associations once they encounter other gang members in the military.
Other gangs target the US military and defense systems to expand their
territory, facilitate criminal activity such as weapons and drug
trafficking, or to receive weapons and combat training that they may
transfer back to their gang. Incidents of weapons theft and trafficking
may have a negative impact on public safety or pose a threat to law
enforcement officials.
As of April
2011, the NGIC has identified members of at least 53 gangs whose members
have served in or are affiliated with US military. Among the identified
gangs with military-trained members are street gangs such as the Asian
Boyz, Bloods, Crips, Gangster Disciples, Latin Kings, MS-13, Sureños,
Tiny Rascal Gangsters, and the Juggalos; the Aryan Brotherhood, Barrio
Azteca, and Texas Syndicate prison gangs; and OMGs including the
Bandidos, Hells Angels, Mongols, Outlaws, and Vagos. Some gangs,
particularly OMGs, actively recruit members with military training or
advise members without criminal records to join the military for
necessary weapons and combat training.
Deployments have
resulted in integrating gang members with service members and/or
dependents on or near overseas military installations, including those
in Afghanistan, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. US
military officials have reported a rise in gang graffiti both on and off
post in Afghanistan and Iraq (see Figure 11).

The Southwest Border
The US Southwest Border regiono
represents a continuing criminal threat to the United States. The
rugged, rural, and porous area along the nearly 2,000 miles of
contiguous US-Mexican territory invites widespread criminal activity,
including drug and arms trafficking, alien smuggling, human trafficking,
extortion, kidnapping, and public corruption. US-based gangs, MDTOs,
and other criminal enterprises in both the United States and Mexico are
readily exploiting this fluid region and incur enormous profit by
establishing wide-reaching drug networks; assisting in the smuggling
drugs, arms, and illegal immigrants; and serving as enforcers for MDTO
interests on the US side of the border.
Violence in
Mexico—particularly in its northern border states—has escalated with
over 34,000 murders committed in Mexico over the past four years.38
While intensified scrutiny from Mexican law enforcement has forced
significant disruptions in several dangerous MDTOs, such disruptions
have also served to disrupt the balance of power among these
organizations. This has prompted drug cartel rivalries to employ more
aggressive tactics as they attempt to assert control over the Southwest
border region and its highly lucrative drug trafficking corridors.39 Although the majority of the violence from feuding drug cartels occurs in Mexico,p
Mexican drug cartel activity has fueled crime in the porous US
Southwest Border region, where easy access to weapons, a high demand for
drugs, ample opportunity for law enforcement corruption, and a large
Hispanic population ripe for recruitment and exploitation exists.40
Hispanic prison
gangs along the Southwest border region are strengthening their ties
with MDTOs to acquire wholesale quantities of drugs, according to NDIC
reporting.41 In exchange for a consistent drug supply,
US-based gangs smuggle and distribute drugs, collect drug proceeds,
launder money, smuggle weapons, commit kidnappings, and serve as
lookouts and enforcers on behalf of the MDTOs. MDTOs subsequently profit
from increased drug circulation in the United States, while US-based
gangs have access to a consistent drug supply which expands their
influence, power, and ability to recruit.42
According
to NDIC reporting, more than 45 percent of law enforcement agencies in
the Southwestern United States report that gangs in their jurisdiction
are moderately to highly involved in drug activity, while 30 percent
indicate that street gang involvement in drug activity increased within
the past year.
Gang-related
activity and violence has increased along the Southwest border region,
as US-based gangs seek to prove their worth to the drug cartels, compete
with other gangs for favor, and act as US-based enforcers for cartels
which involves home invasions, robbery, kidnapping, and murder.
Arrangements
between gangs operating along the Southwest border and MDTOs are the
result of physical proximity and strong familial ties that many US-based
Hispanic gang members retain with family and friends in Mexico.
Northern Border
Gangs pose a growing
problem for law enforcement along the US-Canada border, particularly the
border areas in the New England and Pacific Regions. Gangs smuggle
drugs, cigarettes, firearms, and immigrants across the US-Canada
borders, according to NDIC reporting.44 Members of several
regional- and national-level gangs, including Asian Boyz, Hells Angels,
and Outlaws, smuggle large quantities of illicit drugs across the
US-Canada border in New England, often conducting their smuggling
operations in association with members of transnational criminal and
drug trafficking organizations. According to law enforcement officials
in the Pacific Region, members of several gangs, including the Hells
Angels and Asian gangs, engage in cross-border criminal activity in
their jurisdictions.
Canadian DTOs
smuggle significant amounts of cash generated from the US distribution
of Canada-produced drugs into Canada, according to NDIC reporting. The
Akwesasne Territory, which straddles the US–Canada border, is one of the
most prominent smuggling corridors for Canada-bound bulk cash. The
topography of the US-Canada border is conducive to bulk cash smuggling
because currency interdiction by law enforcement officials is often
hampered by the border’s length and rugged terrain.46
Gangs are becoming
increasingly savvy and are embracing new and advanced technology to
facilitate criminal activity and enhance their criminal operations.
Prepaid cell phones, social networking and microblogging websites, VoIP
systems, virtual worlds, and gaming systems enable gang members to
communicate globally and discreetly. Gangs are also increasingly
employing advanced countermeasures to monitor and target law enforcement
while engaging in a host of criminal activity.
Gang members routinely utilize the Internet to communicate with one another, recruit, promote their gang, intimidate rivals and police, conduct gang business, showcase illegal exploits, and facilitate criminal activity such as drug trafficking, extortion, identity theft, money laundering, and prostitution. Social networking, microblogging, and video-sharing websites—such as Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter—are now more accessible, versatile, and allow tens of thousands of gang members to easily communicate, recruit, and form new gang alliances nationwide and worldwide.r
NGIC
reporting indicates that a majority of gang members use the Internet
for recruitment, gang promotion, and cyber-bullying or intimidation.
Many also use the Internet for identity theft, computer hacking, and
phishing schemes.
The proliferation of social networking websites has made gang activity more prevalent and lethal—moving
gangs from the streets into cyber space. Gang members, criminals, and
drug traffickers are using the Internet not only to recruit and build
their social networks, but to expand and operate their criminal networks
without the proximity once needed for communication. Likewise, youth in
other regions and countries are influenced by what they see online and
may be encouraged to connect with or emulate a gang, facilitating the
global spread of gang culture.
According to
information obtained from multiple state and federal law enforcement
sources, incarcerated gang members are accessing micro-blogging and
social networking web sites such as MocoSpace and Twitter with smuggled
prepaid cellular telephones and using the messaging features to
coordinate criminal activity.
Street gang
members are also involved in cyber attacks, computer hacking, and
phishing operations, often to commit identity theft and fraud.
Gang members are
acquiring high-powered, military-style weapons and equipment, resulting
in potentially lethal encounters with law enforcement officers, rival
gang members, and innocent bystanders. Law enforcement officials in
several regions nationwide report gang members in their jurisdiction are
armed with military-style weapons, such as high-caliber semiautomatic
rifles, semiautomatic variants of AK-47 assault rifles, grenades, and
body armor.
Figure 15. Weapons recovered from Barrio Azteca Members in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
 
Source: ATF
Law enforcement officials in 34 jurisdictions report that the majority of gang-related crime is committed with firearms.
Gang members acquire
firearms through a variety of means, including illegal purchases; straw
purchases through surrogates or middle-men; thefts from individuals,
vehicles, residences and commercial establishments; theft from law
enforcement and military officials, from gang members with connections
to military sources of supply, and from other gangs, according to
multiple law enforcement and NGIC reporting.
Gang members are
becoming more sophisticated and methodical in their methods of
acquiring and purchasing firearms. Gang members often acquire their
firearms through theft or through a middleman, often making a weapons
trace more difficult.
Enlisted military personnel are also being utilized by gang members as a ready source for weapons.
Gang members are
employing countermeasures to monitor, intercept, and target law
enforcement, sometimes with elaborate weapons and devices.
NGIC reporting indicates
that gangs are becoming more involved in white-collar crime, including
identity theft, bank fraud, credit card fraud, money laundering, fencing
stolen goods, counterfeiting, and mortgage fraud, and are recruiting
members who possess those skill sets. Law enforcement officials
nationwide indicate that many gangs in their jurisdiction are involved
in some type of white-collar crime.
Gang members are
laundering profits from criminal activities such as drug trafficking
and prostitution, through front companies such music businesses, beauty
shops, auto repair shops, law firms, and medical offices.
Some gangs, such
as the Bloods and Gangster Disciples, are committing sophisticated
mortgage fraud schemes by purchasing properties with the intent to
receive seller assistance loans and, ultimately retain the proceeds from
the loans, or to comingle illicit funds through mortgage payments. Gang
members are also exploiting vulnerabilities in the banking and mortgage
industries for profit.
Gang units and task
forces are a vital component in targeting gangs and have played a
substantial role in mitigating gang activity in a number of US
communities. The majority of NGIC law enforcement partners report that
their agency has or participates in a gang task force, and most utilize a
gang database to track and monitor gang members in their jurisdictions.
There are 168 FBI Violent Gang Task Forces in the United States, Puerto
Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. In addition, ATF operates 31 Violent
Crime Impact Teams (VCIT) and ICE operates eight Operation Community
Shield (OCS) Initiatives nationwide (see Appendix C). The collaboration
and coordination of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies
has resulted in a number of successes involving gang suppression
efforts.
NGIC
law enforcement partners in at least 107 jurisdictions report that law
enforcement action has resulted in a decrease of gangs or gang activity
in their region.
Street, prison, and
motorcycle gang membership and criminal activity continues to flourish
in US communities where gangs identify opportunities to control street
level drug sales, and other profitable crimes. Gangs will not only
continue to defend their territory from rival gangs, but will also
increasingly seek to diversify both their membership and their criminal
activities in recognition of potential financial gain. New alliances
between rival gangs will likely form as gangs suspend their former
racial ideologies in pursuit of mutual profit. Gangs will continue to
evolve and adapt to current conditions and law enforcement tactics,
diversify their criminal activity, and employ new strategies and
technology to enhance their criminal operations, while facilitating
lower-risk and more profitable schemes, such as white-collar crime.
The expansion of
communication networks, especially in wireless communications and the
Internet, will allow gang members to form associations and alliances
with other gangs and criminal organizations—both domestically and
internationally—and enable gang members to better facilitate criminal
activity and enhance their criminal operations discreetly without the
physical interfacing once necessary to conduct these activities.
Changes in
immigrant populations, which are susceptible to victimization and
recruitment by gangs, may have the most profound effect on street gang
membership. Continued drug trafficking-related violence along the US
Southwest border could trigger increased migration of Mexicans and
Central Americans into the United States and, as such, provide a greater
pool of victims, recruits, and criminal opportunities for street gangs
as they seek to profit from the illegal drug trade, alien smuggling, and
weapons trafficking. Likewise, increased gang recruitment of youths
among the immigrant population may result in an increase in gang
membership and gang-related violence in a number of regions.
Street gang
activity and violence may also increase as more dangerous gang members
are released early from prison and re-establish their roles armed with
new knowledge and improved techniques. Prison gang members, already an
ideal target audience for radicalization, may expand their associations
with foreign gang members or radical criminal organizations, both inside
correctional institutions and in the community upon their release.
Gang members
armed with high-powered weapons and knowledge and expertise acquired
from employment in law enforcement, corrections, or the military may
pose an increasing nationwide threat, as they employ these tactics and
weapons against law enforcement officials, rival gang members, and
civilians.
Globalization,
socio-political change, technological advances, and immigration will
result either in greater gang expansion and gang-related crime or
displace gang members as they search for criminal opportunities
elsewhere. Stagnant or poor economic conditions in the United States,
including budget cuts in law enforcement, may undercut gang
dismantlement efforts and encourage gang expansion as police agencies
redirect their resources and disband gang units and taskforces, as
reported by a large number of law enforcement agencies.

Section 521(a)(A) defines criminal street gangs as ongoing groups, clubs, organizations, or associations of five or more individuals that have as one of their primary purposes the commission of one or more criminal offenses. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 521(c) further defines such criminal offenses as (1) a federal felony involving a controlled substance; (2) a federal felony crime of violence that has as an element the use or attempted use of physical force against the person of another and (3) a conspiracy to commit an offense described in paragraph (1) or (2). bThe gang membership presented in this section represents the collection of data provided by the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) through the National Drug Threat Survey, Bureau of Prisons, State Correctional Facilities, and National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) law enforcement partners. The data are based on estimates provided on a voluntary basis and may include gang members and gang associates. Likewise, these estimates may not capture gang membership in jurisdictions that may have underreported or who declined to report. As these numbers are based on estimates, they only provide a general approximation of the gang activity nationally. If you have additional questions on gang activity within specific jurisdictions, the FBI and NGIC recommend contacting state and local law enforcement agencies for more information. c For the purpose of this assessment, OMGs include One Percenter gangs as well as support and puppet clubs.d A juvenile refers to an individual under 18 years of age, although in some states, a juvenile refers to an individual under 16 years of age. A juvenile gang refers to a gang that is primarily comprised of individuals under 18 years of age.e Juggalos are traditionally fans of the musical group the Insane Clown Posse. Arizona, California, Pennsylvania, and Utah are the only US states that recognize Juggalos as a gang. f Alien smuggling involves facilitating the illegal entry of aliens for financial or other tangible benefits. It can involve an individual or a criminal organization. Business relationships typically cease once the individual has reached their destination. Human trafficking involves recruitment, transportation, and harboring of persons through force, fraud, or coercion for labor or services that result in slavery, involuntary servitude, or debt bondage. The business relationship does not end and often becomes exploitative and violent. g According to the United Nations, over 90 percent of Mexican migrants illegally entering the United States are assisted by professional smugglers. Although most of the migrants are smuggled in trucks, many have been smuggled by rail, on foot, and tunnels. h For years, gang members used Internet websites to advertise the sale of their victims. However, recently several Internet sites including Craigslist have eliminated their erotic services personal advertisement sections. i MDTOs control up to 80 percent of wholesale cocaine distribution in the United States. j Eurasian criminal groups include Albanian, Armenian, Eastern European, and Russian criminal enterprises. k Legal mail refers to any correspondence sent to or received from a legal professional. Gang members may disguise their correspondence to resemble legal mail so that it is exempt from inspection. i Gang members leave prison with the knowledge and connections that allow them to identify with a national gang which will garner them greater respect and “street credibility” within their community. m According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the number of Native Americans incarcerated in jails and prisons nationwide increased by approximately 2.5 percent from 2007 to 2008. n US military branches include Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, Army Reserves, and National Guard. o The US Southwest Border includes the southern borders of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. p Although some US and local law enforcement officials maintain that violent crime in Southwest Border states has decreased in the past few years, the effects of such violence, including drug trafficking activity and migration patterns of Mexican citizens fleeing the violence in Northern Mexico, are most acutely reflected in the US Southwest Border Region. Furthermore, as the point of entry for the vast majority of illicit drugs that are smuggled into the United States, the Southwest Border Region is most susceptible to any spillover violence. q The Barrio Azteca works for the Juarez Cartel on both the US and Mexican sides of the border. r These estimates were derived from the large number of gang members populating social networking wesites such as the Hoodup.com, Facebook, and MySpace. 1 US Department of Justice (USDOJ); “Highlights of the 2009 National Youth Gang Survey;” Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; National Gang Center; May 2011. 2 Open Source News Release; “11 Alleged MS-13 Members Indicted on Racketeering and Other Charges in a Series of Violent Crimes; ICE; 4 May 2011.
