80's or early 90's.

Second, people that know noting of LA Gangs will simply say "his" gang is the Crips and leave it at that. They won't mention that, in fact, there are over 100 separate and distinct gangs that are labeled as "Crips". Just as there are over 100 that are labeled as "Bloods" and nearly the same number of hispanic, asian and white gangs.

A fairly decent list of all "Crip" gangs can be found here: http://www.streetgangs.com/crips/

BUT, it should be noted that by no means are these all friendly to each other, nor are they a unified "Crip" gang. Many of these "sets" are at war with one another, and have been since the 70's.

Contrary to the media-driven image of Crips vs. Bloods being the main rivalry, in reality, more Crips have been killed by other Crips than have by Bloods (Bloods, in my research, seem to be more unified from set to set).

According to Wikipedia (and other sources), Los Angeles County is home to 152000 gang members organized into 1350 gangs.
