Chicago is considered the most gang-infested city in the United States, with a population of over 100,000 active members from nearly 60 factions.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref></ref> [[wikt:turf war|Gang warfare]] and retaliation is common in Chicago. Gangs were responsible for 61% of the [[crime in Chicago|homicides in Chicago]] in 2011.
==Causes==
Former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy blames Chicago's gang culture for its high rates of homicide and other violent crime, stating "It's very frustrating to know that it's like 7% of the population causes 80% of the violent crime...The gangs here are traditional gangs that are generational, if you will. The grandfather was a gang member, the father's a gang member, and the kid right now is going to be a gang member."<ref></ref>
==Police activity==
Mayor [[Rahm Emanuel]] disbanded the [[Chicago Police Department]]'s [[Gang intelligence unit|anti-gang unit]] in 2012 in order to focus on [[Beat (police)|beat patrol]]s, which he said would have a more long-term solution to violence than anti-gang units.<ref></ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
==Population==
As many as 70 active and inactive Chicago street gangs with 753 factions have been identified.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref></ref> Some of the gangs that contribute most of the crime on the streets of Chicago:
*[[Gangster Disciples]]
*[[Vice Lords]]
*[[Black P. Stones]]
*[[Latin Kings (gang)|Latin Kings]]
*[[Black Disciples]]
*[[Maniac Latin Disciples]]
*[[Spanish Cobras]]
*[[Almighty Saints]]
*[[Spanish Gangster Disciples]]
*[[Four Corner Hustlers]]
==History==
Detailed analysis of the homicides timeline by month show that homicides (of all races) went up right after [[Martin Luther King, Jr]] was killed in 1968. Hispanic-on-Hispanic homicides were alleged not to have increased until the summer of 1971 due to the [[Latin Kings]] gang election meetings.<ref></ref>
