The Crips, also known as Original Crip Homies (OCH), are a gang based in the coastal regions of Southern California.They were founded in Los Angeles, California in 1969 mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams.The name "Cribs" evolved into the name "Crips" when gang members began carrying around canes to display their "pimp" status.People in the neighborhood then began calling them cripples, or "Crips" for short.Once a single alliance between two autonomous gangs, they are now a loosely connected network of individual "sets", often engaged in open warfare with one another.Its members traditionally wear blue clothing, a practice that has waned somewhat due to police crackdowns specifically targeting gang members.

Members typically consist of young African-American men, with some members being white, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander.The Crips became popular throughout southern Los Angeles as more youth gangs joined; at one point they outnumbered non-Crip gangs by 3 to 1, sparking disputes with non-Crip gangs, including the L. Brims, Athens Park Boys, the Bishops, The Drill Company, and the Denver Lanes.By 1971 the gang's notoriety had spread across Los Angeles.Historically, members have been primarily of African-American heritage.The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States.
