Violent Gangs
The information provided on this website gives the user an understanding of how U.S. gang
members operate. "Many are sophisticated and well organized; all use violence to control
neighborhoods and boost their illegal money-making activities, which include drug trafficking,
robbery, theft, fraud, extortion, prostitution rings, and gun trafficking. Here, you'll find
more on the threats posed by gangs, on how you can help spot and prevent gang activity, and on how
we're redoubling our efforts to disrupt and dismantle them through intelligence-driven
investigations and new initiatives and partnerships."--From the website. [Listed November 29,
