Want to see more "estimates" of gang statistics (C'mon...you realize no one is going to go into the streets and get 100% honest answers of gang involvement, right?) Well, here's something else for you to ponder:
From NIJ 1994 Extended Survey
Jurisdiction Size Gangs: 1993 Members: 1993 Crimes: 1993
Cities over 200,000 4,722 246,431 51,155
Cities 150,000-200,000 788 19,478 46,616
Cities 25,000-150,000 8,964 122,508 89,232
Smaller cities
(1992) 251 31,498 3,156
Selected Counties 1,918 135,266 390,172
National total 16,643 555,181 580,331
Interesting, yes? I ran across the numbers as I was doing research for my latest release:
