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.
