- Gangs are at a premium in Englewood and gang turf is constantly fought over between the Gangster Disciples, Black P stones, and Black Disciples. Englewoods crime and murder rate surpass almost every other neighborhood in Chicago. Larry Hoover who is currently surving a lifetime sentence in prison started the Gangster Disciples in Englewood(63rd and Halstedt) which has become one of the largest and most dangerous gangs nation wide.
because no source is cited. Without the source, this is just POV. Tedernst 23:01, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
With a population of 3000, and 700 murders in the last 10 years, does this mean that somewhere around 20% of the residents have been murdered in the last decade?
I feel that the topic of the great black migration of the 30's and 40's, and the white flight of the late 50's and 60's is an important part of this neighborhood's history and helps to explain it's current condition and what led to it.Chyrah 21:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Chyrah
