Detroit street gangs 1970's

Of course you have the YBI's, Zone 8's, The Smurfs of Six Mile, Schoolcraft Boys, Cash Flow Posse's, Detroit Kings by Pablo Bonilla, The Mack Ave's [[ Mack Ave and Bewick and Garland St. was their hangout spot.)

Later in 2000s came the P-Rock and G-monts, Chi-Town and Archdale Cliques along with few Crips that faded out and the fast growth of E. 7 Mile Bloods.

Great question.

I vaguely recall efforts to promote basketball as an alternative activity. Seems pretty ineffective in retrospect.

There were also efforts to promote portable swimming pools during hot summer months after the riotous 1960s.
