  24. GANG RECRUITMENT TECHNIQUES • The needs and/or purpose of a gang as well as the particular situation determines the methods/techniques that will be used to recruit new members into the gang. The following categories of gang recruitment are fairly common, but the sophistication of the gang will certainly dictate how sophisticated the recruitment techniques will be implemented.

  25. SEDUCTION • For a long time gangs have used this technique to recruit new members. They create glorified myths about the gang that are very attractive to young recruits, and very often these myths become the foundation for young aspirations. The most powerful of these trappings, however, are the promise of money, sex, and glamour. The symbols of the gang (the graffiti, hand signs, colors, tattoos, etc.) create a visual attraction for young people, they realize that with these symbols they are part of something organized and powerful. Parties are also very useful ways for recruiters to seduce young people into the gang. At the party they have fun, get high, and believe the rhetoric they are bombarded with.

  26. DECEPTION • A misrepresentation of what the gang really is and what it stands for. Recruiters use lies and schemes to convince the youth that it really isn't a gang, it's a club or it is really a group of close friends that have to protect themselves against a powerful enemy. Another tact taken by recruiters is to identify latchkey and other kids who may not have a good family life and convince them that they aren't loved and that the club is there for them, the "club" will love them.

  27. OBLIGATION • Often gang members will do a favor or make a loan of something to a prospective recmit and demand that they give loyalty as payback. Often, these favors come in the form of protection. Girls are sometimes used to promote that sense of obligation.

  28. COHERSION • Forced recruitment is an age old technique, used most often by large gangs in chronic gang cities. This technique is used most often during times of gang conflict, or when there is a need to generate dues money. Cohersion is usually accomplished by threats, but physical beatings are used as well. There have been many deaths as a result of individuals refusing to join the gang. Cohersion can mean that a family member is threatened as well.

  29. SELF-RECRUITMENT • For many reasons, youth will make contact with gang members and ask to join the gang. The reasons are many and not always because the individual sees the gang as glamorous. The reason may be one of necessity, money, protection etc.. The reasons may be a combination of all of the trappings mentioned above. The range of reasons for a youth to join a gang is very wide and does not always mean that he has joined the gang openheartedly.

  30. BORN INTO THE GANG • Some children are forced into the unfortunate situation of being born into a gang family. They are expected to grow up and be like their family members.

  31. GANG INITIATIONS • JUMPED IN • SEXED IN • INITIATION BY COP • JACKED IN • LINED-IN • DRIVE-BY SHOOTING • COURTED IN • BLOOD IN – BLOOD OUT

  32. JUMPED IN • Having to fight a certain number of gang members for a given period of time and being able to take the beating and fight back.

  33. SEXED IN • Used to initiate females into male-dominated gangs wherein the initiate provides sexual services for one or more of the established gang members. Sometimes up to 10-15 members.

  34. INITIATION BY COP • Kill a police officer. Rarely used today.

  35. JACKED IN Committing a theft/larceny.

  36. LINED-IN • In this scenario, the individual being initiated either stands in the middle of a circle and must fight his or her way out, or must run between two lines of gang members.The initiate is expected to stay on his or her feet from one end of the line to the other.

  37. DRIVE-BY SHOOTING • Commit a drive-by-shooting as assigned by the gang.

  38. BLOOD IN – BLOOD OUT • Blood In: commit a gang assigned murder to join the gang. • Blood Out: commit a murder in order to leave the gang.
