Document Summary
Female gangs started rivalries: trg (became a coed gang) Asian gang members started to be seen with cigarette burns. At first, they were thought to be a form of child abuse: the burns were self-inflicted and a sign of commitment to the gang. American occidental street gangs influence asian street gangs. In the early 1980 vietnamese street gangs were starting to get influenced by the existing street gangs, especially behaviors, customs and indicia. Hung pho mimic western gang culture through memes; vietnamese street gangs are not territorial. Currently, trg (tiny rascal gang) is a coed gang. Currently, trg allows anybody (any race) to be in the gang. Cambodian gangs = claim turf; all other asian gangs don"t claim turf. All gangs get involved in home invasion robberies. Asian street gangs: home invasion robbery, drug sales, prostitution, alien smuggling, gun running, robbery, burglary, extortion, murder, welfare / insurance fraud, petty theft, counterfeit checks and credit cards.
