" NsOc^" A.k.A North Side Orthodox Crips.

The Crips are a primarily, but not exclusively, African American gang founded in Los Angeles, California in 1971 mainly by 17-year-old Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. What was once a single alliance between two autonomous gangs is now a loosely connected network of individual sets, often engaged in open warfare with one another.

The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States.[2] with an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 members. The gang is known to be involved in murders, robberies, drug dealing, among many other criminal pursuits. The gang is notorious for its gang members' flamboyant use of the color blue in their clothing. However, this practice has waned due to contentious police crackdowns on gang members.

Crips are publicly known to have an intense and bitter rivalry with the Bloods.

Their local gang members from the west and east sides of South Central Los Angeles in order to battle neighboring street gangs. Most of the members were seventeen years old.[Williams discounted the sometimes cited founding date of 1969 (or even the early 1950s), in his memoir, Blue Rage, Black Redemption. The original name for the alliance was "Cribs", a name narrowed down from a list of many options, and chosen unanimously from three final choices, which included the Black Overlords, and the Assassins. Early on, many members, while intoxicated, mispronounced Cribs and started saying "Crips", and the name stuck. The name had no political, organizational, cryptic, or acronymic meaning. Williams, in his memoir, further discounted claims that the group was a spin-off of the Black Panther Party or formed for a community agenda, the name "depicted a fighting alliance against street gangs—nothing more, nothing less", Williams wrote. Washington, who attended Freemont High School, was the leader of the East Side Crips, and Williams, who attended Washington High School, lead the West Side Crips.

Williams recalled that a blue bandanna was first worn by Crips founding member Buddha, as a part of his color-coordinated clothing of blue Levi's, a blue shirt, and dark blue suspenders. A blue bandanna was worn in memorium to Buddha after he was shot and killed on February 23, 1973, which eventually became the color of blue associated with Crips.

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.A. Brims, Athens Park Boys, the Bishops, and the Denver Lanes.

By 1971 the gang's notoriety had spread across Los Angeles. The gang became increasingly violent as they attempted to expand their turf. By the early 1980s the gang was heavily involved with drug trade.

Crips are found everywhere in the United States, Small towns, Cities and our Nations Capital Washington D.C. Crips are widely spread flowing with their knowledge in Gang Banging,or their life style "Cripin". Various Hit crip sets in Danbury, C.T. has been found called "EFCC", "D.S, NSOC'',"D.S.K". These Sets are well-known in the Connecticut area and are found highly dangerous.
