В США церемония принятия в банду так зовется. Новички должны это пройти, чтобы быть принятыми (убить, избить кого-то, изнасиловать, терпеть боль, отвечать на вопросы с подковырками и т.п.). Могут, конечно, быть еще какие-нибудь региональные варианты, поэтому уверенность у меня не 100%.

Вот еще мне тут молодежь подсказывает, что есть у нас такое выражение как "Jump in" для мальчиков и "sex in" для девочек. Мальчиков соответственно избивают, а девочек - сами понимаете.

Пример:



þ Four men arrested in a Sioux Falls drug raid have connections to a Chicago street gang called the “Gangster Disciples”. (November 2005)
þ A Chicago member of the Gangster Disciple gang and his Sioux Falls girlfriend were arrested at a motel on drug charges. The 28-year old man was charged with felony crack cocaine possession, crack possession with intent to distribute and maintaining a place where drugs are stored. He was on parole for crack distribution in Illinois at the time of his Sioux Falls arrest. (July 2005)
þ An argument over a gang led to the violent death of a homeless man in Sioux Falls. The victim was beaten and stabbed to death after an argument with the suspect over the War Lords. (June 2005)
þ A South Dakota member of the Bandidos, who served as the gang’s national secretary, was picked up by federal agents on a warrant for conspiracy to tamper with a witness. His arrest was part of a three-state bust of the club’s alleged crime ring. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms reported it had seized evidence that tied the Bandidos to a host of crimes including theft, weapons possession, narcotics and intimidation. (June 2005)
þ Three people with ties to the Black Gangster Disciple Nation and Gangster Disciples were arrested in a drug raid. Officers found several rocks of crack cocaine and $2,6000 in cash. (April 2005)

Many people in South Dakota have a hard time believing there could be ‘real gangs’ in the area. After all, this isn’t Omaha, or Chicago, or any one of a number of urban centers known for gang activity. But the reality is gang recruiting and activity is happening, and it’s not limited to adults. High schools and middle schools, as well as the corrections system, are prime recruiting territory for new members. Whether a youngster becomes a ‘wanna-be’ or a full-fledged member, there are real risks in the gang life.

This is a basic look at gangs and what adults need to know about them. If you have specific concerns or questions, please email us or contact the Prairie View Prevention Services counselor at your child’s school.

What is a “gang”?
Gang is defined as three or more people who associate for the same common purpose. The behavior of the members, either individually or collectively, may be disruptive, anti-social or criminal.

Are there different types of gangs?
While gang members may claim that theirs is unique, gangs fall into one of three categories:
1.Traditional. These are the gangs that have multi-generational members. They are steeped in traditions and are often referred to as “turf gangs”.
2. Non-traditional. These are the gangs that have mainly first time members in them. Gang members may have different reasons for belonging to the gang (power, structure, protection, etc). They are more loosely organized than the traditional gangs.
3. Entrepreneur. These are the gangs and/or gang members who are largely in it for the money. They engage in illegal activities such as selling drugs, stealing cars or car parts for fencing operations, etc.

What are some of the more common gangs?

Probably the most common gangs are the CRIPS and the BLOODS. Both are Los Angeles street gangs that grew to prominence in the 1960s. Initially, both gangs were predominantly made up of black males, but now include both male and female members of all races and social classes in every state of the nation. The Crips and Bloods are rival gangs.
Also in the ‘60s, three street gangs emerged from Chicago. These gangs can now be found in various parts of the country. They are the BLACK GANGSTER DISCIPLE NATION (Black Gangsters or Black Gangster Disciples), the VICE LORDS and the LATIN KINGS.
Hispanic gangs from California have also migrated to the Midwest. They are generally divided into two groups: the SURENOS and the NORTENOS.
An entirely different category of gangs is the White Supremacists. These white gangs are not motivated by greed. Their motivation comes from a strong belief system based on hate and an ultra-right wing political ideology. They adhere to violence, intimidation, vandalism and anything that will insure the survival of the white race. They routinely terrorize people of color, Jews, Catholics, immigrants, people who have married interracially and homosexuals. Such gangs include neo-Nazi groups and skinheads. They believe that minorities are taking over the country and therefore believe they are justified in ‘preserving’ their culture by preaching and demonstrating violence against minorities.
The gangs most prominent in the Sioux Falls, Sioux City and southwestern Minnesota region are Bloods and Crips (several sets of each), Vice Lords, Latin Kings, Black Gangster Disciple Nation, Surenos and Nortenos. In South Dakota prisons, according to the research done by USA Gangs the most common gangs are Aryan Brotherhood, Black Gangster Disciples, Black P Stones, Bloods, Crips, Gangster Disciples, Ku Klux Klan, Latin Kings, Nortenos 14, Skinheads, Surenos 13, and Vice Lords.

How does someone become a member of the gang?

Generally, a person must be “jumped into” a gang. Jumping in consists of having to fight multiple gang members at the same time. Potential members demonstrate courage and commitment by the manner in which they fight back. Prior to the actual jumping in, the potential gang member may be put through other tests, such as being asked to commit a specific crime – theft, beating someone up, etc.

Я прошу прощения - у меня никакого намерения не было такой кусок текста сюда засандалить. Я пыталась скопировать только часть про "Jump In" (она в самом конце).

Я понимаю, что вам не значение нужно, но у нас это так и называется "initiation" или "rite of passage" в бандитском жаргоне. Вариации на тему обычно имеют более узкое значение (как мои примеры "jump in", "beat in", "sex in", etc.).
