Take this with a grain of salt as it's based on self-reported municipal figures. For example, Elizabeth, whose mayor claims there are no gangs in the city (), chose to not report stats. That tells me a lot. Essentially, I would venture to guess that in at least some municipalities, the stats are underreported or tweaked in a positive manner. But it gives you a good idea of the prevalence of gangs.

NJ has a presence of all major gangs - Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, MS-13. Certain gangs are more prevalent in certain areas, but I believe the largest gang in NJ with the most members are the Bloods. MS-13 are generally the most violent.

My son's school just did a workshop on gang activity--Im mortified. But when I talk to people--they say--"its everywhere-even the good districts"

I find this very hard to believe--even in say Manasquan, Ocean Township/Deal area? The really high performing districts? Am I just naive?

I think the lower standards of education in certain districts(brick is a good example) is a breeding ground for this.

does anyone have opinions/info on this.

Here is a report on gang activity in NJ that was published in 2010:

New members do that all of the time. They don't check the date.

Hi, BOBBY! Check the date of the thread before you post.

Wherever you have sanctuary cities, you have illegals and you have lots of gang activity.
