Bloods vs. Crips Mrs. Stubbs-Mesumbe Period 5B Ike Anamelechi November 27, 2016 The Bloods and the crips are easily some of the most violent and famous gangs to ever be created. They were both founded in Los Angeles. These two gangs have been rivals for about their entire history as a gang. The Crips were founded in 1969 by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Not long after that , the Bloods formed from a lot of smaller gangs including the Pirus to become rivals for the Crips. They decided to become a gang because they were very tired of the Crips killing other gang members and them not having enough people to do it. This term paper will document the history of the Bloods and the Crips from the attacks, and the drugs they would distribute. We touched upon this a little in the intro but the Bloods formed as a group because of the Crips attacking other gangs. Some Crip members murdered a member of the pirus which is what began to cause them to realize that the Crips were too big of a group for them to fight by themselves. The straw that broke the camel’s back so to speak, was when some Crip members robbed and killed a man by the name of Robert Ballou Jr. This is what really made all of the smaller gangs realize that they need each other to even compete with the Crips. They had a meeting with each other and decided to band together and become the Bloods. Now that they are bigger and have more sets now the Bloods can really be rivals for the Crips. This was a…

battle called “shoe war” arose at San Quentin. One member of La Eme was killed and scores of Nuestra family members were stabbed (Mallory 219). This rivalry still exists to date. Crime families usually cooperate when they have similar interests or when they want to diversify their activities across borders. For example, La Eme‘s main allies in crime are the Surenos who operate mainly in Southern California. The Surenos carry out orders from La Eme and, therefore, wield a considerable influence.…

additional violence without losing enormous support in a transition from demonstrative to destructive. It still needs a large amount of community support, as is evident in its call to action of additional Supreme members, but if it reaches a point where its popularity is undisputed even against Liberty and Honor, it would be much harder to use the tactic of threatening its base of supporters. Being able to correctly recognize what phase One Way is in determines whether the strategy of narratives…

for the vatos in the barrio. Whether the motives of these gang members were right or wrong, everything they did was solely on the purpose to defend themselves and if they had to instill fear upon society they did with no second thought. Members in these gangs knew that they had to give it their all for the gang. Their barrio was their life, it was their pride. Regardless their reckless actions and behaviors, they impacted the present and the future for the civilians in California in language,…

accounted for. Ronald Ayers say that low-control can exist without crime. (Akers, 1991, p. 6). Among other things, class and gender have not been accounted for when it comes to the theory. The theory has a lot of holes that come with it. The strengths of the theory are that there is evidence that peers who hang out with friends with low-self-control will most likely be involved in delinquent. Also, another strength includes it being pair up the positivist school. (Akers, 1991, p. 13). It also…

immigrants wanted to organize themselves, so they decided to come up with a name for themselves. First, they started off with “mara”, which means gang, next, “salva”, stands for their country, El Salvador, and “trucha”, which is used in the English language meaning, cleaver and sharp. Ending with, Mara Salvatrucha, and once this name was established, the gang began to quickly expand along other countries and into other nationalities. At this point the gang began to form rivals with other…

The Bulldog gang lacks infrastructure and leadership hence making them the largest…

I had given up on him because, I got tired of waiting for him to change back to the man I had fallen in love with. Once he started hanging around a gang located here in Santa Rosa called, Varrio Sureno Lokotes, he had slowly started changing. He had never been aggressive when it came to me, but then he started becoming jealous and violent. So, I completely agree with the statement that the book, Criminology: A Brief Introduction had talked about the topic of relationships with peers; when you…

Gangs in North Carolina Prisons, and How Gangs Communicate with the Outside World Gangs are undoubtedly one of the largest problems that the Department of Corrections faces daily. According to David Starbek prison gang is defined as: “an inmate organization that operates within a prison system, that has a corporate entity, exists into perpetuity, and whose membership is restrictive, mutually exclusive, and often requires a lifetime commitment”(Starbek). A person who was in a gang before…

urban areas originate with conflicts between gangs. It is common for gangs to mark their territory through graffiti to ward other gangs away. In addition to behaving as a method to scare off rival gangs, inhabitants of neighborhoods that are covered with graffiti are impacted as well because they associate gang graffiti with violence. Not only do gangs harm their rivals, but gangs are also known to attack people that are viewed as threats due to being outsiders. In September of 2007, Eric Adorno…
