The Blood Bank Center of New Jersey

Bloods have been caught using college students to pass fraudulent checks. The net proceeds from the bank fraud topped $654,000 before the scam was shut down last year. The gang members were so brazen that at least one of the phony checks was from the "The Blood Bank Center of New Jersey."

Other findings include:
-- Schools are the growth area for gangs. Anti-gang education is needed and
should start, in some cases, at early as the third grade.
-- Gangs control 90 percent of the $1 billion-a-year drug trade.
-- Law enforcement is hindered by a lack of centralized data and intelligence
system. Authorities at all levels are struggling to keep up with the growth of
gangs. There are an estimated 1 million gang members in the U.S., with 20,000
members in New Jersey alone.
