Violent Death in New Jersey, 2003 - 2005
Measuring Gang and ‘Gang-like’ Homicides
The recent increase in homicides in New Jersey has been especially characterized by homicides committed with firearms in urban areas. The majority of victims are young black males. At the same time there has been an increase in gang activity in the state, as described in the Governor’s recently released crime plan and reflected in the recently released 2007 New Jersey 9-10 State Police Gang Survey. While gang activity and criminal violence are clearly related, it is often difficult to associate gang activity with any particular homicide. The “gang and ‘gang-like’” homicide category was created by NJVDRS to provide an alternative way of estimating the number of homicides that are either known to involve gangs or share important characteristics with homicides that were known to involve gangs, even if no circumstances were reported about these homicides. For every homicide which meets the criteria for a “gang” homicide as defined by NVDRS*, there are several others which are similar in terms of the weapon, the location, and the characteristics of suspects and victims, but which are classified as either “drive-by”, “drug-related”, or “innocent bystander”. Additionally, there are homicides for which no circumstances are available but which are considered “gang-like” because the victim, location, and/or weapon characteristics are similar to homicides that have been classified as gang-related by law enforcement. These categories comprise the broader NJVDRS category of “gang and ‘gang-like’” homicides. The rationale for developing this measure is that it appears that the growing prominence of gangs has been accompanied by a new style of violent behavior. This estimate seeks to measure the extent of this violent behavior, even if many incidents cannot be directly related to anything specific about gangs. In other words, this definition seeks to measure the general rather than the specific effect of gangs, or to estimate the overall impact of “gang-style” violence on homicide. Most of these homicides occurred in urban areas and involved firearms. 258 homicides met this expanded definition in 2005, as compared with 201 in 2004 and 168 in 2003. Overall, 627 homicides between 2003 to 2005 met the NJVDRS broad “gang and ‘gang-like’” definition. 495 (79%) of those homicides occurred in just eight of New Jersey’s major urban areas. The following maps of these urban areas include a map of all homicides and a map of homicides meeting the NJVDRS broad “gang and ‘gang-like’” definition. _______________________________
*A homicide is considered gang-related if the medical examiner or law enforcement indicates in their report that the homicide resulted, or is suspected to have resulted, from gang rivalry or gang activity.11
