Describe the non-traditional features of hybrid gangs

What will be an ideal response?


1) they may or may not have an allegiance to a traditional gang color. In fact, much of the hybrid gang graffiti in the United States is a composite of multiple gangs with conflicting symbols. For example, Crip gang graffiti painted in red (the color used by the rival Blood gang) would be unheard of in California but has occurred elsewhere in the hybrid gang culture; 2) the gangs may adopt the symbols of large gangs in more than one city. For example, a locally based gang named after the Los Angeles Bloods may also use symbols from the Chicago People Nation, such as five-pointed stars and downward-pointed pitchforks; 3) gang members may change their affiliation from one gang to another; 4) it is not uncommon for a gang member to claim multiple affiliations, sometimes involving rival gangs.
