- Gang Crime and Law Enforcement Recordkeeping. MENU TITLE: Gang Crime Recordkeeping Series: NIJ Research in Brief Published: June 1994 (NCJ 148345) 20 pages 40,310 bytes Gang Crime and Law Enforcement Recordkeeping by G. ... Fox ------------------- Issues and Findings Discussed in this Research in Brief: A survey conducted in spring 1992 of police departments in 79 large cities and 43 smaller cities to gather statistics on gangs, gang members, and gang-related crime. Specific data were solicited on the participation of females and ethnic minorities and on the anti-gang strategies used by the departments. Key issues: National data on gangs are difficult to obtain because jurisdictions vary in: o Definitions of what constitutes a gang and a gang-related incident. o Practices in recording the number of gangs, gang members, and the number of gang-related crimes as well as the gender of gang members and details of gang-related crimes other than homicide. ... o Gang-related crime is above all a violent crime problem. Homicides and other violent crimes account for about half of all recorded gang-related crime incidents. ... o The proportion of females in gangs and committing gang-related crime is relatively small (around 3 or 4 percent). o Although the overwhelming majority of gang members are black or Hispanic, the proportion of white youth involvement is increasing. o Cities with gang problems generally reported far more gang members than gang-related incidents, but this may reflect how statistics are recorded rather than the degree of criminal involvement.
