[5] Florida Gangs -- Gangs and Security Threat Group Awareness
http://www.dc.state.fl.us/pub/gangs/fl.html
"Every state and major city in the United States is plagued with
local, loosely structured, street gangs that are mainly motivated by
drug sales. Historically, disruptive incidents in our prisons have
been based on the geographic origins of the inmates involved (e.g.,
Miami gang inmates vs. Tampa gang inmates).
These local groups form based on common interests and a sense of
loyalty to individuals from their city, neighborhood, street, or
housing complex. They adopt generic names such as Players, Posse,
Crew, Mafia, Gang, and Bad Boys and attach their particular street or
avenue name to it.
Although they are loosely structured and tend to conduct their illegal
activities in a specific location, they are extremely violent and
develop bitter blood rivalries."
