A number of visitors to Gangs OR Us request information concerning gangs in a particular state. As a courtesy, the information below is being provided. This state by state list is by no means a complete list of gangs that may be found in each state and is intended to serve only as an indicator of gang activity within each state. It also indicates how gangs by the same name have expanded and proliferated from state to state.
NOTE: Gangs OR Us was the originator of the Gangs In U.S. list. Several groups use the list with permission, while several others have plagiarized the material.
As an example of how extensive the numbers of gangs are in our cities, many, but by no means all, of the local "neighborhood" gangs are listed for our nations capitol, Washington D.C. For the fifty states, only those gangs that may be well known within the region, or nationally, are listed; local gangs are too numerous.
Should you require specific information about gangs in your community,
please contact your local, county, or state law enforcement agency.
Does your law enforcement department or agency have a gang investigation unit? If so, please submit the URL to me via
Email to be posted on this page.
You may also submit the names of gangs in your area to be
included in your states list. Please use the Email address above.

Bloods and Crips
Bloods and Crips are two of the largest and most violent associations of criminal street gangs in the United States. The membership of both gangs is primarily African American. Both gangs are a collection of structured and unstructured gangs commonly known as sets. Generally, gang sets are established by an entrepreneurial individual who runs the set and recruits members to distribute drugs, primarily cocaine. Bloods and Crips distribute drugs in California and many other states including Georgia. Although Bloods and Crips sets are located throughout the United States, not all gangs that claim to be Bloods and Crips are affiliated with the Los Angeles-based Bloods and Crips. Bloods and Crips embrace the principles of individualism, loyalty to their own members, and violence against other gangs. The gangs harbor deep hatred toward each other and each considers the other a rival. The two gangs will, however, cooperate in criminal ventures for profit.
Gangster Disciples
Gangster Disciples is the largest of the Chicago-based street gangs and its membership is primarily African American. This gang has been in existence since the early 1960s, and its organizational hierarchy resembles that of a corporation. The gang distributes illegal drugs, primarily crack cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, throughout the Chicago area, usually in low-income areas on the south and west sides of the city, and in over 40 other states including Georgia.
La Gran Familia
La Gran Familia is one of the primary Hispanic street gangs in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Its members distribute cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine and engage in violent criminal activity including assault, auto theft, drive-by shooting, and homicide. In Atlanta La Gran Familia is an alliance of predominantly Hispanic street gangs. Gangs identified with La Gran Familia alliance in Atlanta include Vatos Locos, Pachucos, Latin Kings, Riverside, 18th Street, East Side Locos, La Raza, Aztecas, and Matildos 13.
Latin Kings
Latin Kings, also known as Almighty Latin Kings Nation, is a predominantly Hispanic street and prison gang with two major factions: one in Chicago and one in the northeast. These gangs started as social groups in Hispanic communities but later evolved into criminal groups that distribute drugs and commit violent crimes. Latin Kings is a highly structured gang that relies on strict, detailed charters to maintain discipline. Chicago-based Latin Kings, affiliated with People Nation, is the foundation for all other Latin Kings gangs. The gang has expanded throughout the nation including into Georgia. Latin Kings members in the Atlanta metropolitan area reportedly have ties to Latin Kings in New York.
Sureños 13
Sureños 13 is a major Hispanic street gang in the Atlanta metropolitan area. Its members distribute cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine. They also commit assault, auto theft, drive-by shooting, and homicide. Law enforcement reports indicate that Sureños 13 in Atlanta identifies itself as a gang rather than an alliance of gangs as does Sureños 13 in Southern California. There are no reports to indicate that Sureños 13 in Atlanta is associated with the Sureños 13 alliance of gangs in Southern California.
Vice Lords
Vice Lords, one of the largest and most violent associations of criminal street gangs in the United States, is based in Chicago. Its membership is predominantly African American. Vice Lords is split among major factions such as the Conservative Vice Lords, Traveling Vice Lords, and Four Corner Hustlers. Each faction has a distinct membership and leadership. Vice Lords distributes drugs, principally crack cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and some heroin, in Chicago and other states including Georgia.
