Dixieland Gangs & Disruptive Groups: Crime & Impact on the Southeast United States
Includes the history of disruptive groups and street gangs active within this area from mid-1800s to date, but one cannot understand well their origins or why they exist today without understanding the history of the South. Crime groups in the southeast portion of the United States run from fairly unorganized groups like “Moonshine Operations”, to full-fledged street gangs, prison gangs, motorcycle gangs, and organized crime. While they may not meet the definition of a “street gang”, criminal groups in the southern part of the United States have existed much longer than most people realize. The Author researched material in-depth, and interviewed numerous individuals, including gang members and local law enforcement, in particular nationwide gang expert Hunter “Gator” Glass, Adam Schniper who was a past President of the Alabama Gang Investigators Association, and Carter F. Smith who was a Founding Board Member of the Tennessee Gang Investigators Association, to give you an up to date picture of gangs in the southeast United States and their impact on crime and communities.
