The Public Safety in Crimes Prevention & Resource Directory

     

In the late 1980s the Massachusetts Department of Correction MDOC began to experience the emergence of street gang members being incarcerated into their system. The numbers were relatively low and the groups themselves were not organized. However, knowing the impact of gangs, the MDOC started to gather intelligence on gangs and worked closely with other agencies in identifying members.
