GANGS
IDENTIFIED BY
FBI
• They have about 1.4 million members who are criminally
active in the U.S.
• It is estimated that over 50 % or around 780,000 are youth
members
• This means that are over 50% of gangs are present in the
school systems
• Many are sophisticated and well organized; ALL use
violence to control neighborhoods and boost their illegal
money-making activities, which include robbery, drug and
gun trafficking, fraud, extortion, and prostitution rings.
• Gang members’ violent offense rates are up to seven times
higher than the violent crime rates of adolescents who are
not in gangs (Howell, 2003, pp. 83−84)
• According to the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment
report, gangs are responsible for an average of 48 percent of
violent crime in most jurisdictions, and up to 90 percent in
others. We’re redoubling our efforts to disrupt and
dismantle gangs through intelligence-driven investigations
and new initiatives and partnerships.
"Once found principally in large cities, violent street gangs
now affect public safety, community image, and quality of life
in communities of all sizes in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
No region of the United States is untouched by gangs. Gangs
affect society at all levels, causing heightened fears for safety,
violence, and economic costs" (2005 National Gang Threat
Assessment, National Alliance of Gang Investigators
Associations, 2005).
“As gangs move into a neighborhood they destroy the
housing value, the business community and schools;
causing hardworking citizens to leave their homes and
move to safer areas. These abandoned homes become
vacant homes, which can come under the control of
gangs or groups and be used for criminal activity by the
gangs or groups.”
Detroit Metropolitan Police
“Gangs have changed neighborhoods by instilling fear with
the crimes of violence they commit and intimidation of the
good people living there. Gangs do migrate and also try
and merge or take over other gangs.”
“Gangs drive crime up in their territory, and generally
erode the infrastructure of the neighborhoods; negatively
effecting schools, businesses, and the quality of life.”
Cleveland Police Department
The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office filed 437 charges against 43 juveniles for
gang-related crimes. The juveniles are suspected members of the Heartless Felons
gang
