There are many gangs that exist throughout the United States. When it comes to gangs some join forces with each other to make sure that they are outnumbered. Bloods and Crips are the two biggest gangs there are in Los Angeles County. I will talk about the Crips because it seems to me that they are more dangerous than any other gang and they are the largest gang in the United States.
There are so many gangs out there but it seems as though most people like to be on the Crips side because they are more dangerous when it comes to being protective of their people, family and those around them. When it comes to Crips street gang they out number any of gang and they also was founded in Los Angeles during the late 1960s. What most people don’t know is that there is an estimate of 800 Crip sets in the United States and with that said they have about 30,00 to 35,000 members.
Currently there is an estimated 800+ Crips sets in the United States with the gangs membership being between 30,000 and 35,000 members. Many of the local Crips sets throughout the United States are loosely structured and independent from the original Crips set in Los Angeles. Sets can range in size from 3 to 100 members and can be either structured and highly organized drug organization or unstructured groups of juveniles who engage in local crime.
The street gang known as the Crips, originally founded by Stanley “Tookie” Williams, uses a variety of identifying markers. Ranging from tattoos to hand signs, the images depicted below are some of the more common identifiers among the gang. The color blue is often used on apparel to indicate affiliation with the gang, which is in opposition to the red color worn by the rival Bloods. Blue bandanas, blue rags, and calling each other other “Cuzz” and “Blood Killas” (BK) are frequent identifiers of the gang. Moreover, the letter B will often be replaced with the letter C to prevent affiliation with the Bloods. The most common idenfiiers other thean the color of Blue are the six point star and six point crown.
Crips members throughout the United States are predominantly African American. However, in the Maryland Virginia area there are several cases of members being Caucasian and Asian. Typically, members consist of men from their early teens to their mid-twenties. In the more highly organized Crips sets, men may hold leadership position into their late twenties to early thirties. These sets are also likely to be more violent in order to protect business and drug territory over rival gangs.
