Blood Graffiti Bloods and Crips Crips and BloodsCrip Graffiti Bloods and Crips Crips and BloodsBecause Crips and Bloods are aligned with the Folk and People Nations out of Chicago, they closely follow the Chicago philosophies. Chicago based/influenced gangs display an all for one, one for all mentality with complete devotion to their set and nation. Most codes of conduct require lifetime allegiance to the group. The groups have a strict set of laws that result in "violations" for breaking these rules. Violations are inner disciplinary punishment issued by the leaders of the group for violating t he set rules. They range from performing menial tasks to physical assault for a set time period, to death.

The members are required to follow all orders given by their leaders and failure to do so results in "violation".

The philosophies vary somewhat depending upon the set, therefore this information will be provided in the group's individual threat assessment
Symbols / Identifiers

The Crips adopted the color blue for their clothing to set them apart from other gang members. Also, the Crips began using the word "Cuzz," short for cousin, in greetings to identify each other.

The Bloods adopted the color red and began using the term "Bloods" to identify each other.

Within Crips sets, blue continues to be the dominate color. However, other dark colors such as black, brown, and purple may also be blended to identify certain sets.

Bloods sets still use red as the dominant color in most cases. However, other colors may be used if they are significant to the gang name, such as "Lime Street Pirus."

The primary personal accessories which identify gang affiliations are hats, handkerchiefs, shoelaces, and belts.

Most gang members are identified by a nickname (Moniker) or street name. Often, members will not know each other by their legal names. A nickname is important because it can give insights into a member's psychological perspective of himself, an indicat ion of his physical description, and can aid in identification based on graffiti.

The first letter of the real name and a gang term often will be used for a moniker. Examples are
C-Bone or T-Loc. These terms are intended to express a hardness or madness to non-gang members. Many members will tattoo their moniker on their body.

Both Crips and Bloods have their own rules for speaking or writing to their "homeboys." Homeboy is another name for a gang member.

Some common rules exist. Such as, Crips do not use the letter "B"; Bloods will not use the letter "C" and will replace it with a "B". For example, "cigarette: would become "bigarette."

Communications may take different forms, and we must recognize these "identifiers" if we are to successfully deal with gangs. Clothing, guns, jewelry, hand signals, and tattoos are all forms of communication to gang members. All of these may be used as in inroad when interviewing gang members.

Graffiti is used by gang members to communicate territorial limits and broadcast warnings or publicize a challenge to other street gangs. Challenges are made by one gang putting their graffiti on another's territory. This can be considered a killing of fense by the gangs. Also, simply crossing out of other gang's graffiti may lead to serious retaliation measures. Graffiti is an effective way to keep track of gang rosters, geographic locations, and gang violence.

Please remember that Crips will also use Folk Nation identifiers and the Bloods will use the People Nation identifiers.
Allies

For the Crips allies are any gang that considers the Bloods an enemy and vice versa for the Bloods.
Enemies

Crips and Bloods sets are rivals. And since Crips and Bloods are affiliated with Folk and People Nations respectively, they are then rivals of all Folk or People sets and subsets.

Traditionally Folk Nation aligned sets and People Nation aligned sets are rivals. In addition, various other national and local street gangs develop as rivals, allies and/or initiate alliances. Under each of these alliances there are literally hundreds of individual sets or gangs. These alliances and rivalries are constantly changing and need to be reviewed frequently

Organization Structure

Neither the Crips or Bloods has centralized leadership. Instead, they are fragmented gangs that can be arranged into larger group affiliations generally based on their geographic area. This fragmentation makes these gangs more difficult for law enforce ment to track and identify them. The Crips and Bloods do have an alliance with the Chicago based gangs that make up the Folk and People Nations respectively.

Individual gangs are referred to as "sets." These sets, particularly the Crips sets, often form affiliations (group sets) within a geographic area. For example, Compton Crips (as many as 20 individuals sets); Hoover Crips (about 10 individual sets); East Coast Crips (many sets).

Set groupings are also based on the particular city were they may be located; e.g., Compton Crips, LA Crips, San Diego Crips. Areas and neighborhoods were soon identified as either Crips or Bloods territory. Presently there are about 200 known Crips gangs and 70 Bloods gangs in Los Angeles.

There are generally four types of individuals associated with street gangs. The "hard-cores" are exactly that. They talk, act, dress, and commit criminal acts as a gang member.

"Associates" will identify with gang members in their neighborhood, but seldom involve themselves deeply with gang activity. Dope suppliers would be an example of an associate.

"Peripherals" are those outside the gang who identify with the gang for protection or for favors. This group mainly consists of women. They are used to carry drugs or guns for members in return for money or drugs. All female gangs are beginning to emerge.


SNOOP.

The last type person is the "Want-to-Be's." They are people who calm to be gang members in an attempt to influence people in areas outside the control of the gang. Want-to-Be's usually are not gang members, but assume some characteristics such as wearing a particular gang color. These people are the recruitment pool for the gangs' new members. These Want-to-Be's can be more dangerous than the members themselves.

Most gang members range from 15 to 35 years of age. The members 15 to 18 appear to be the most violent. This is the period of time when new members are trying to prove themselves to older gang members and raise their status within the group.

Within gangs usually three groupings will appear: "Old Gangster", who are likely to be the originators of the set; "Gangsters", who are the hard-core members; and "BGs" (baby gangsters) or TGs (tiny gangsters), who are the younger juvenile members. The older members who have earned their reputations will often control younger members. For this reason they are referred to as "Shot Callers."
Recruitment / Initiation

Recruitment by these gangs is required by their by-laws and is usually pursued in a very aggressive and persistent manner. Recruitment often involves memorization of alliance and set history, organization, and mythical symbolism referred to as "knowled ge." This "knowledge" is often written and passed around by members/prospective members where it is copied. The writings are often coded or cryptic using a specific alphabet.

Initiation into these groups is accomplished by proving your loyalty to the gang; you will give your life to the gang, and that you love the gang. This is accomplished by ordering the prospect to commit crime, physically assaulting the prospect, having them play Russian roulette, or otherwise risk their life for the group.

The most common form of initiation is described by members as "walking the line". The prospect is instructed to walk between two lines of group members, with his/her hands behind them, while the members beat and kick them. The objective being to get to the end of the line standing. Once the individual's knees touch the ground they must repeat the process.
Disruptive / Behavior Threat

When gang members are put into the general prison population, serious problems have developed. Correctional officers are attacked with increasing frequency. Non-gang prisoners are often raped, assaulted, or killed by gang members in their efforts to establish turf or deal drugs inside the institutions. You must know if there are both Crips and Bloods in the same facility.

Visitors will probably be other gang members or associates. Special screening and searches will often produce narcotics or weapons. Make sure visitors are required to produce some form of photo identification, and a visitors log is accurately maintained.

Checking graffiti inside the prison often times will indicate a potential "hit on another inmate or officer.

As prison populations become more saturated with gang members officials will need to watch for emerging prison gangs, such as the "Consolidated Crip Organization" (CCO) and the "United Blood Nation" (UBN). Although these gangs have only surfaced in isolated areas, there will be a natural growth inside the prisons as more members are sentenced.
