American gang history was the subject of a report I did for my old news service years ago.
What amazed me was gangs have been around since day one!
Did you know the first major gangs were Dutch and English? The movie "Gangs of New York" touched on part of that history but it's far, far more extensive. Some gangs are actually close to 800 years old having originated in Europe and Asia.
In modern day U.S. history gangs aren't just kids from the inner cities. Noooo the most ruthless and powerful gangs you would never hear of. They don't have thousands of members just a few dozen to perhaps a hundred. Skull & Bones is one such gang. Started as a fraternity at Yale. These are the most ruthless gangs, the elite hierarchy of the upper crust of society. They literally control banking worldwide and armies.
Street gangs however pose a threat even the big secret gangs are afraid of: terrorism.
The street gangs, if banded together could crush the global economy in a matter of hours. Yet it's unrealistic they could do so as they're much more motivated by drug induced stupors ( supplied by the secret gangs ) and pubescent hormone rages.
The fact that there are 5 or more generations of families in the same gang is testament to the corruption of our governmental infrastructure.
Bottom line is, we humans ARE a collective of gangs.
It's only natural.
