Approximately 1.4 million people in the United States were part of gangs as of 2011, and more than 33,000 gangs were active in the country.[3] These include national street gangs, local street gangs, prison gangs, outlaw motorcycle clubs, and ethnic and organized crime gangs.[4]
Many American gangs began, and still exist, in urban areas. In many cases, national street gangs originated in major cities such as New York City and Chicago[5] but they later grew in other American cities like Albuquerque[6] and Washington, D.C.[7]
