The Gangs of New Jersey
does YOUR town have a gang?
i just got this state police report with each town in new jersey and if they have gangs there or not. there’s an estimation of how many gangs and how many total members.
wanna know how many gangs are in your backyard? post your town.
also, guess what town has the most gangs!

What’s the picture like in Sewell/Washington Twp.?
how about some numbers for glassboro? and clayton too. i know there’s plenty of gang activity there.
washington township in gloucester county has 7 gangs, with 10 members. i’m not quite sure how that adds up, but that’s what the report says!
glassboro, gloucester county: 9 gangs, 30 members
clayton, gloucester county: 5 gangs members not identified
oh, this is the disclaimer of sorts in the report:
In many instances, individual gang populations were unknown or were not specified by the responding agency. For this reason, the number of gangs reported in a particular town may therefore be larger than the number of gang members in that town’s estimated gang population.
I was actually playing around with this data earlier. I made a visualization on manyeyes with their handy NJ map. I just used the number of gang members stat though, not number of gangs.

Hidden Lakes Outlaws 4 lyfe!
How can a gang have 2 members? They’d lose in a rumble for sure. weanies.
Camden is my guess for most gangs… and now they have half the police there to care about.

I was wondering this myself. I’m also thinking that maybe it means that there are a total of 2 known gang members living in Keyport, and they each belong to one of two known gangs of greater New Jersey?
jon, that could be it, definitely.
camden has 21 gangs and the number of members says unknown. lindenwold has 22!
the most, according to this report, is east orange with 56.
There’s no way Red Bank has zero gangs or known gang members. New Jersey is fucking scary.
red bank has four gangs and 68 members
red bank has four gangs and 68 members
How about Keansburg?
19 gangs, 86 members. yeesh!
Does the report only cover NJ? I need to know what city has the most gangs in the country!
Ima guess Detroit.

I’ll bet it’s somewhere in California. There are a ton of gang members all over the place out there, not just South Central LA.
the report was only NJ.
yeah i would second california.
Phillipsburg, NJ? It’s the FFA members vs. 4H

10, 85
It is totally hard for me to believe that P’burg has more gangs and members than Edison, NJ.
