1 Gangs in San Jose There are ~ 100 gangs in San Jose and ~ 200 gangs in Santa Clara County.
2 Gangs in San Jose Hispanic gangs (Norteños and Sureños) are the most prevalent in San Jose.
3 Sureño History The Mexican Mafia, or La Eme, is a criminal prison organization formed by Hispanic gang members at the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy, California in the 1950 s. In the 1960 s, inmates in the California penal institutions (Los Angeles) affiliated with La Eme began having conflict with non-eme members and inmates from Northern California. Sureños are a group of loosely affiliated gangs that pay tribute to the Mexican Mafia and historically tended to be from south of Bakersfield, CA.
4 Sureños 13 represents the thirteenth letter of the alphabet, the letter M, in order to pay allegiance to the Mexican Mafia
5 Sureños 3 dots Adidas 3 stripes NK for Norteño Killer Aztec 13
6 Sureños LA Lakers (1960 s) Dallas Cowboys LA Dodgers
7 Norteño History Nuestra Familia is a criminal organization of Chicano prison gangs originating in Northern California in the 1960 s. They were prison rivals with La Eme, as it was perceived that the inmates from Northern California and rural California were being treated inferiorly. Norteños are a group of loosely affiliated gangs that pay tribute to the Nuestra Familia and historically tend to be from north of Bakersfield, CA.

12 African American Gangs The California Department of Justice estimates as many as 100,000 African American gang members in California Not as prevalent in the Bay Area Primary activity is drug dealing Majority affiliated with the Crips or Bloods The Crips are the dominant group in San Jose
13 Crips Originated in South Central Los Angeles in 1960 s Prior names include Baby Avenues and Cribs to reflect young age of members; Crips (from cripple) caught on when members carried canes to represent pimp status Large and violent gang involved in murders, robberies, and drug dealing Color blue, blood killers, cross out letter B, do not use ck as this stands for crip killer and instead use cc Traditionally African American but today multiethnic
14 Bloods Originate from Piru street gang in Los Angeles Biggest rivals of Crips Bloods refer loosely to an association of smaller street gangs called sets Violent and focused on drug dealing (crack cocaine) Color red, crip killers, cross out letter c, call Crip members crabs, number 5, hand signs for B or spelling out blood Mostly African American males, however there are some female members and other races/ethnic backgrounds
15 Asian Gangs in San Jose In Santa Clara County, Asian street gangs include Asian Boyz, Asian Warriors, and Asian Gangsters Operate with structured organization and hierarchy Not turf-oriented Maintain low profile to avoid law enforcement scrutiny Known to prey on own race and often develop relationship with victims before victimizing them Vietnamese gangs trend towards gambling, prostitution, human trafficking, extortion, home invasions Illegal and violent activity tends to center around Asian coffee shops
16 Asian Gangs in San Jose By Robert Salongar 11/27/2013 SAN JOSE -- An illicit gambling ring allegedly run out of Vietnamese coffee shops in San Jose was the brainchild of a notorious street gang and unraveled last week after more than two years of clandestine wiretaps, according to government statements during a federal detention hearing Friday.
17 Risk Factors Youth join gangs for protection, respect and status, money, peer pressure, and a sense of belonging. The gang can serve as a surrogate extended family for adolescents who do not see their own families as meeting their needs for belonging, nurturing and acceptance. Youth are at higher risk for joining a gang if they: engage in delinquent behaviors are aggressive or violent have mental health problems are victims of abuse or neglect (risk factors for girls in particular include sexual abuse and abusive intimate partner violence) experience multiple caretaker transitions have many problems at school associate with other gang-involved youth live in communities where they feel unsafe and where many youth are in trouble
18 Warning Signs Screening Questions Child suddenly has a new group of friends. Child has new nicknames. Child shows lack of interest in family/school activities. Child has truancy problem and poor school performance. Child has late hours or time that is not accounted for. Child wears specific colors or has a particular style of dress. Child has tattoos or clothing or other items with insignias or logos. Do you feel safe in your neighborhood/school? What would you do if you needed protection? Do you have access to a handgun? What is the significance of your tattoo/your style of clothing? Do you have friends or siblings who are involved in a gang?
19 Health and Welfare Impacts According to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth of 9,000 adolescents, 8% of the youth surveyed had belonged to a gang at some point between the ages of 12 and 17. Youth who become involved in gangs faced the increased risk of: dropping out of school teen parenthood unemployment victimization drug and alcohol abuse committing petty and violent crimes juvenile conviction and incarceration economic hardship and family problems in adulthood
20 Gang Prevention: A Framework To prevent youth from joining gangs, communities must strengthen families and schools, improve community supervision, train teachers and parents to manage disruptive youth, and teach students interpersonal skills. Very early prevention efforts are critical: The most common age for youth to join a gang is between 13 and 15. Protective factors include academic success, positive connections, and effective parenting. School-based programs addressing substance abuse, delinquency, and violence prevention have reduced risk factors. Activities such as tutoring, mentoring, life-skills training, case management, parental involvement, and supervised recreation can strengthen families and communities.
21 Gang Prevention and Intervention: What Can YOU Do? ASK the patients about their experiences. ASK about the good things for them about being in a gang. ASK about the not so good things for them about being in a gang.
