Good morning everyone, I am glad everyone could make it. This class was developed for the education and further development of the multi-disciplinary attendees. This class is given to school administrators, school security, probation, parole and law enforcement. It is the hope that the included information will enlighten the attendees to the gang identification and culture but to also prevent misidentification of individuals not participating in a gang lifestyle or criminal activity.

Types of Gangs

Hybrid (Semi-traditional).
Crime for profit.
Philosophical (Based on religious or political beliefs).
Your speaker’s notes should be written to coincide your bullet points or outline and include citations of your source material. The Turf Gangs are the traditional gang. They will claim a territory or neighborhood, are usual multi-generational and are predominately African-American and Latino. They may also claim entire cities and control criminal enterprises (Valdez, 2000).
Hybrid Gangs or Semi-traditional gangs will mimic traditional street gangs in dress, tattoos and graffiti but do not claim or identify with any territory or neighborhoods. They may begin as tagger crews, party crews, posses or dance crews but may eventually resort to violence for protection from real or perceived threats (Valdez, 2000).
Crime for profit gangs will not usually claim a turf but will travel anywhere to make money. Committing crimes for profit is the main motivation for the gang (Valdez, 2000). This may include Asian gangs, outlaw motor cycle clubs and organized crime groups.
Philosophical Gangs which form based on a belief system. The most recognizable are the Skinhead gangs, white supremacist gangs, and gangs formed around occult religions such a Santeria, Witchcraft and Satanism (Valdez, 2000).
