A Top 10 List You Don't Want To Be On

Today the Los Angeles Police Department and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa released a list of the Top 10 Most Violent Gangs in Los Angeles:

1. Canoga Park Alabama
2. Avenues
3. Mara Salvatrucha
4. La Mirada Locos
5. 18th Street Westside
6. Black P-Stones
7. Rollin' 30s
   Rollin' 40s
8. Rollin' 60s
9. Grape Street Crips
10. 204th Street
    

There are actually eleven gangs on this list. Some gang experts and community experts disagree with the notion of releasing a ranking of gangs because they claim that gangs will 'compete' (by committing more crimes) to get on the list, which will end up in more gang crimes, not less.
