ARYAN BROTHERHOOD PAPER ABSTRACT

The Aryan Brotherhood is a violent organization that has had a significant impact nationally and continues to plague prison systems and law enforcement agencies around the country. It is a violent organization that was founded in in 1964 and currently has approximately 15,000 members. It is a white supremacist group that prospers in drug trafficking, prostitution, and extortion along with the intimidation. Due to the violent nature of this gang and the threat that is posed on those that are targeted, it is imperative that a proactive approach be taken when dealing with these criminals to ensure that they do not evolve into a more prolific threat. This paper will propose a method of correcting their unlawful abuse of power in the prison systems as well as in local communities.
