With 7,131 known gang members, Prince George's ranked behind Miami-Dade County and three counties in the Newark, N.J., area -- Essex, Hudson and Union counties.

And they are violent: the FBI attributes 16 of the homicides committed in Prince George's this year to national gangs like MS-13.

The county's gang membership has soared from between 500 and 2,500 gang members in Prince George's in 2008, the FBI said. Police count 310 gangs and crews, according to Lt. Jennifer Barrett, commander of the county's gang unit.

Prince George's is leading a rise in gang membership and gang-related violence across the Washington area as neighborhood "crews" are expanding and national gangs are moving into suburban and rural areas to recruit and expand their drug distribution territories.

Among the fastest-growing national gangs are MS-13 and 18th Street, both of which are present in Maryland, Virginia and the District.

The gangs seem to be recruiting more heavily than in the past, particularly among younger age groups, said Sgt. George Norris in the Prince George's County Police's gang unit. Norris said he has seen youth as young as elementary-school age participating in gang activities.

"Culturally for kids it's kind of the trending thing to be a gang member right now," said Norris, pointing to popular clothing and music that centers around gang-related themes.

Younger members are also less likely to get as severe sentences if caught, said Norris, making them desirable for doing gangs' "dirty work."
