In conducting research on the proliferation of the contemporary gangs in Los Angeles, I did extensive archival and ethnographic research on the history of gangs and conflict in Los Angeles to get a better understanding on the present scope of gang activity in Los Angeles.

Suprisingly there is little written about the historical background of Black gangs in Los Angeles, therefore I devoted an entire chapter to this topic in my manuscript entitled Territoriality Among African-American Street Gangs in Los Angeles which later became the focus of a documentary produced by Robert Stack on Los Angeles gangs which was part of his comprehensive documentary series that profiled global organized crime in 13 parts entitled Lords of the Mafia.

This article about Black gangs was posted on the web site for The National Alliance of Gang Investigstors Association (www.nagia.org). If you have a special request, do not hesitate to contact me with your query.
