Not only is there gangs in the streets, most of them reside inside of prisons. After reading this website I learned about some gangs and their history about how they came about.

Gang Busters

This article was published in 2002; even though it was over 10 years ago now I chose it because I feel like it's good to see how this whole problem was back then as to how it is now. The article mainly points towards the gangs that resided in the New York City area. The writer states that police forces have created a division  solely for gangs. Back in 2002 the head of the gang division said that "the gangs in New York were under control". Along with researching and finding this article they say that the gangs were pretty much brought up in the 1950s after the fiction gangs of West Side Story. Even thought the gangs in New York are under control, this article says that the gangs in cities, such as Los Angeles and Chicago, still have a heavy worry about the gangs in their cities.
