The
Bloods are one of the two largest
Los Angeles, California youth
gangs. The Bloods, as opposed to the
Crips, are largely
African American. Due to the loose network of territorial gangs, there are significant differences between the various
cliques[?]. The Bloods are identified by the red color worn by their members. While there have been bloody rivalries between the Crips and Bloods, a
peace treaty[?] was recently negotiated, prompting a
Nobel Peace Prize nomination. The gangs have branched out throughout the
United States and even internationally.
