Organized Crime

Both "speakeasies" and "bootleggers" were products of "Prohibition", established to outlaw the production, sale, and transport of "intoxicating liquors" (alcoholic products and beverages) by the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution (ratification certified 16 January 1919; the amendment took effect 17 January 1920). The enforcement of Prohibition was provided for by Congress via the National Prohibition Act (hence the name Prohibition); the Act was also known as the "Volstead Act" in reference to Andrew Volstead, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who managed the legislation's progress through Congress.

Prohibition spawned "speakeasies", or illegal drinking establishments, and "bootleggers", or providers of illicit alcohol products, in great numbers throughout the country. These were both a reaction to the continued demand for alcohol by a large majority of the citizenry despite any legal prohibition to the contrary, and represented some of the most visible of the many entrepreneurial business efforts to supply said demand. The widespread disregard for this law of the land ("speakeasies" proliferated in virtually every city, town, and village in the country, while "bootleggers" were even more widespread, and large-scale such operations spawned much of the great potency of---as well as the establishment of much of the initial funding enjoyed by---organized crime organizations; some of the same criminal organizations whose rise was rooted in Prohibition continue to plague America to the present day) and the total lack of success in the objectives of Prohibition resulted in even some of it's most ardent supporters calling for it's repeal. In what remains the only instance of a Constitutional Amendment being reversed, Prohibition was repealed by the 21st Amendment (ratified 5 March 1933).

The Folk Nation doesn't even exist anymore, the Gangster Disciples are still around, but they're under the Black Mafia Family.

Side Notes:

The Gangster Disciples are NOT Crips, they do NOT wear the color blue, the Gangster Disciples(as well as all gangs under the Black Mafia Family) wear black.

Following are important thoeries of criminality-

Biological theory-. Many studies have sought to explain crime. Most of them compare habitual criminals with people who have not been convicted of crimes to try to find important differences between the two groups.

Since the late 1800's, for example, researchers trained in the biological sciences have searched for physical differences. Such studies involve differences in body type, the pattern of brain waves, and the formation of genes. Lambroso and Charles Goring said that due to defective traits of body they want to attract attention of others, so they commit crime. Other sociologists believe that due to heredity of criminals their offspring also do such acts.

In compare to old young people inclined more towards acts of crime. Quarreling nature ,tension ,fraustration,etc are some biological factors of crime. Although none of these studies has proved that criminals have any physical traits that make them different from other people.

2-Psychological theory-

Research by psychiatrists and psychologists stresses personality differences resulting from experiences in childhood or later. This research shows that many people who became criminals were neglected by their parents or were given harsh or uncertain discipline. Such treatment left them insecure and demanding in their relations with others. Their own wants made them ignore the needs or rights of others. But researchers have had difficulty making a direct connection between emotional needs and crime because many people with emotional problems find acceptable ways of solving them.(CD of World book Millennium 2000)

3-Economic theory-Due to industrialization and urbanization, the needs of people are at increasing rate. There is limited sources for satisfying unlimited needs. In many countries, most crimes are committed by boys and young men. They are particularly likely to commit burglaries, car thefts, and robberies .Modernization has changed the concept of standard of living which was simple living and high thinking .Now it isconverted in to high living and simple thinking.

4-Social theory-For many young city-dwellers, the excitement of the streets provides the principal escape from boredom and seemingly unsolvable problems. These streets are also the scene of much vice and crime--drugs use and sale, gambling, prostitution, public drunkenness, and acts of violence. Law enforcement in the inner city is difficult, partly because too few police officers patrol the neighborhoods. In addition, many of the people fear the police and refuse to cooperate with them. .(CD of World book Millennium 2000)

5-Political theory-political leader also train people for committing crimes. They are paid for it. Booth capturing ,killing the innocents ,murdering the other party candidates and honest people who do not pay money from government treasury, creating terror for voting system are so many other forms of crimes.

Political factors have become an increasingly serious criminal activity. It includes acts of terrorism against innocent people and assassinations of leading political figures throughout the world. Unlike many criminals who seek money or personal gain through crime, most terrorists and assassins commit crimes to show support for a political cause. Since the early 1970's, political crimes such as aero plane hijackings, assassinations, bombings, and the taking of hostages have become more frequent. As a result, governments all over the world have taken steps to protect against terrorists.

6-Defective Punishment system theory -If person is harshly penalized for ordinary acts ,it makes him serious criminal in future. Our legal system too is loosely knitted . On the basis of false evidence any person can be punished by law. Such person does not have faith in laws so they violate the same to punish the others.

I would NOT recommed you join a gang, and I would NOT recommed you get any tattoos associating with any gangs.

But to answer your question, below is a list of gang tattoos:

5 Point star(People Nation gangs get this tattoo)

6 Point star(Folk Nation gangs get this tattoo)

Tear Drop(gang members get this when they've either killed someone, or are mourning someone's death). If the tear drop is colored in it means they've killed).

3 dots in a triangle(hispanic gang tattoo, stands for the 3 possibilites of gang life which is death, hospital bed, or prison)

Lion & crown tattoos:These tattoos are associated with the Almighty Latin King & Queen Nation, which is a gang under the larger People Nation.

Dragon & Tiger tattoos:Asian gang tattoos, stands for strength.

There are quite a few street gangs that wear the color green, such as:

The 5 Point star has nothing to do with the Bloods gang. The 5 Point star is represented by gangs in the People Nation, such as the Almighty Latin King & Queen Nation, Almighty Vice Lords Nation, & Almighty Insane Latin Counts Nation to name a few. The Bloods gang is NOT under the People Nation, therefore they don't share any of their symbols or knowledge. The Bloods gang is under the Blood Alliance, with gangs such as the Pirus, and the Brims, to name a couple.

SIDE NOTES:

The Bloods gang is under the Blood Alliance NOT People Nation.

The Bloods gang does NOT claim the ''5''.

The Crips gang is under the Crip Alliance NOT People Nation.

The Crips gang does NOT claim the ''6''.
