How do gangs work?

[raisins]

The best example of a huge gang that is set up like a corporation is the Black Gangster Disciples. Do a search on Larry Hoover and you will find plenty. This is not a national gang though, just a very large and at one time powerful regional one. Some of the gangs that are supposedly national, bloods, crips, etc. don't have any central leadership just different groups sharing the same name and maybe some contact.
