Piru Gang Knowledge Bloods

Background BLOODS The Bloods street gang originated at the Centennial High School from the Piru gang, which took its name from Piru Street in Compton, California. The Bloods formed to protect members from the Crips, and soon after, other street gangs, with the same motive, started using the names Piru and Bloods to signify their alignment with the main gang. Although the Bloods street gangs, or sets, are a smaller group than the Crips, they are potentially dangerous, particularly when present in any numbers.


The Bloods present a significant threat to correctional administrators not only due to their predatory and violent behavior, but more importantly due to their Intense rivalry with the Crips. As do the Crips, the Bloods have a strong Fascination with Assault-type weapons.

MEMBERSHIP: California Typically Bloods sets are from South-Central Los Angeles, they have similar attitudes about group loyalty and violence. Like the Crips, the Bloods love to be in the limelight. They are especially arrogant, and believe that acting Naive about them conveys weakness. Bloods members will Seize every opportunity to lie and portray the image that they respect only those who are "bigger and badder."

The Bloods (and the Crips as well) say, as a group, that "snitching" or becoming an informant is forbidden. However, once removed from their group, they are usually easier to deal with, possibly due to their belief that they are shrewd businessmen.

The Blood also have their own system of "flashing" or hand signals used to Identify membership in a particular gang or set.

IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: traditionally, the Bloods street gangs have always worn red colors, using red bandannas or red rags; similar graffiti and graphic styles, emphasizing disrespect for Crips and Crips symbols.

Blood Book of Knowledge
As with many other facets of life, the gang culture changes everyday. New, Copycat or hybrid form gangs everyday and many mimic the more well known gangs such as the Bloods, Crips, and others.

Frequently these gangs have only partial information or knowledge of such things as the original gangs codes, alphabets, or books of knowledge. Consequently, they often create, add to, or change items such as the Book of Knowledge or the Bloods code ..
