Create a PollDominicans Don't Play (DDP) is a New York based street gang comprised of Latino youths whose heritage is traced to the Dominican Republic. They are largely concentrated in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan parts of Queens, The Bronx and Brooklyn[1] . More recently the gang has expanded to New Jersey [2] [3] , Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Atlanta. Law enforcement identifies members through the wearing of black, blue, white and red beads [4] - which is problematic given these are also the colors of the flag of the Dominican Republic and numerous other countries.Throughout the group's relatively short history as a gang they have been involved in numerous violent altercations in New York [5] , New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Florida. In 2004 several people associated with DDP were arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a River Edge, New Jersey man after the North Hudson Dominican Day Parade in August 2003. They have had an ongoing feud with other area gangs, including the sets affiliated with the United Blood Nation and the Trinitarios, a group comprised also of Dominican youths. [6] . A scuffle between DDP and the Bloods at Pelham Prep High School in the Bronx on March 11, 2005 resulted in the stabbing of two teenage boys.[1] On April 13, 2005 fifteen year old Alex Ramirez, a member of the DDP off-shoot BONZ - or "Beat On Niggaz", was charged with second-degree murder after witnesses said he slashed 16-year-old Marviel Martinez (rival gang member trinitario) in the neck and then thrust the blade deep in the teen's back Tuesday morning at the Jerome Ave. station in 183st.[2] There was a recent arrest of three members of the DDP by the FBI.On January 01, 2007, 3 member of the gang DDP were arrested in New York. They were wanted for multiple charges relating to a shooting incident at a restaurant in which the three subjects fired several rounds killing one person and critically injuring three. They were arrested in NY with a .38 caliber hand gun. [7] . There was also a large brawl in Manhattan including Union Square. [8] [9]18 year old beaten and stabbed by gangmembersOn February 20, 2007 an 18-year old man was beaten and stabbed 21 times in Boston's Back Bay MBTA station by a gang of teenagers suspected to be members of DDP. Police, using footage from security cameras have arrested and charged three males aged 17, 16 & 15 with assault with intent to murder, aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), and assault and battery. The victim is not believed to have gang affiliations, but is thought to have had a run in with someone in or affiliated to the gang. [3][4][5]Another teen killedSome details have emerged about what might have caused Wednesday's brutal fight amongst teenagers in Union Square that left one teen dead and two others injured. Yesterday Police Commissioner Kelly said it was a "planned confrontation": Some Washington Irving High School female students were "insulted," so they enlisted their boyfriends at Science Skills High School to defend their honor.Commissioner Kelly also suggested that the fight could have been gang-related, as some Washington Irving students are members of the Bloods while some Science Skills students could have been in DDP - Dominicans Don't Play. According to an official who spoke to the NY Times, someone whistled to start the fight and the girls' contingent from Science Skills had 15 people "with no plans for a confrontation and found themselves outnumbered." The Daily News reports that the police are reviewing surveillance footage from a nearby store that captured the fight, which involved around 50 teens who used belts, pieces of wood, and bats during the altercation.Brawl in 42 streetYesterday at about 3:10pm students started arriving in packs at the 42st platroom of the 6 uptown train in midtown Manhattan where cops suspect the brawl was between the member of the DDP, Dominicans Dont Play and The Bloods. Cops reported that the member of DDP attend to a nearby school Norman Thomas High School which is located at 33rd Street and Park Ave.Four students were taken to the hospital. One student was stabbed in the chest and the other three were injured but were release from the hospital.All the injured were member of the Blood street gangPotential for expansionThe group has limited potential for nationwide expansion and is largely confined to areas with significant Dominican populations in particular Washington Heights, Florida, Atlanta, Boston and New Jersey. They are considered to have the largest concentration of Dominicans of any neighborhood in the United States,combined population of Dominicans residing in New York and New Jersey totals around 1.2 out of an overall US Dominican population of 2.3 million as of 2001.[6]DDP in SpainHowever, on March 7, 2006 Spanish Police in Madrid arrested thirteen young people, four of them minors, who were suspected of being members of the Latin Kings and Dominicans Don't Play [10] . Their alleged crimes included public disorder and illicit possession of firearms. The economic crisis that effected Latin America in the 1980s, also known as "the lost decade," generated a massive outflow of Dominican migrants who often moved to la Madre Patria (the Motherland), also known as Spain. According to official sources from Spain's Ministry of Labor, some 12,000 Dominicans currently are legal residents, of whom around 9,000 are female. About 56 percent of Dominicans live in Madrid (5,200 women and 762 men in 1995), although there are estimates that the real number of Dominicans residing in Madrid may reach 25,000.[7] Despite their limited numbers in comparison to the United States, Dominican youths in Spain are confronted with similar social-economic problems which provide a fertile environment for gang and criminal activity as a means of identification and financial improvement.DDP in Spain A youth gang, Dominicans Don't Play (DDP), has become one of the more prominent gangs in Madrid. Diario Libre writes that it is now said to be bigger than the Latin Kings and the Netas. Police work has reduced the amount of gangs and gang members, but DDP has managed to become the strongest of them all with 130 known members. Although there are 280 registered gang members, police in the Spanish capital say that there could be as many as 1,300 active members. DDP is a transplanted organization with its roots in the urban neighborhoods of New York City and numerouse country....found this latin layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotCommentsD.D.P. VidEo
