 Gangs surge in swing state since 2020 election as street thugs become more sophisticated: experts
 
 
Gang membership surges in Georgia
 
Gang membership in the Peach State is up by 80% since 2018, according to data from the Georgia Gang Investigators Association (GGIA).

According to the nonprofit's 2024 study findings, Georgia is home to more than 127,732 known gang members and active associates representing about 1,974 gangs. The group's 2018 survey identified more than 71,000 gang members between 1,600 gangs.
 
Only 86 of the state's 159 counties participated in the survey, which showed that about 65% of crimes committed in those counties were carried out by gang members. Regardless, the nonprofit stated, the numbers show that gang activity has surged over the past six years.

However, the agency noted, the rise also coincided with increased training among law enforcement in the state focused on the identification, investigation and prosecution of street gang activity.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
