When did gangs start in California?

Answer 1

Depending on your definition, there were gangs in the 1800's with Jesse James etc. I would look into that as a starting point. Al Capone came later in the early 1900's. Most gangs started in Chicago. It is the birthplace of the original gangs. Los Angeles has taken over for the most and newest with regards to origin, but Chicago was first.

Al Capone had started gangs in the 1800's, Al Capone and Other Major "bosses" had controlled most of the nation's organized crime, later youth gangs had gone "into style" in the 1950's and in the 1970's, the increase of guns and physical violence had come into play. now adays gangs are more deadly, only relying on guns, so who ever created guns, we owe 75% or more to gang related deaths.

Answer 2

Gangs if I'm not mistake in California were started to protect their communities not be violent. But the FBI started growing greatly concerned because blacks were being highly influenced by groups like the Black Panther & other groups. The FBI introduced drugs into those communities to keep the black youths more controlled. If my answer is wrong do some research and correct me but I'm pretty sure I'm right.
