Gang Identification
In the most recent survey of law enforcement, the U.S. Department of Justice found that there are nearly three-quarters of a million gang members in the U.S., representing nearly 30,000 different gangs or sets (2009). Gangs are found in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and all U.S. territories. Law enforcement data show a continued migration from urban areas to suburban and even rural communities. Due to the pervasiveness of gangs and their propensity for criminality, detecting the presence of gangs and identifying gang members is critical for protecting citizens and preventing crime.
