Which STG has a name that includes a geographic reference?

• A. Bloods
• B. Crips
• C. 215 Kensington
• D. Dead Man Inc.

Answer: (C)

Geographic references in STG names signal where the group originated or operates. The name that includes Kensington clearly ties the group to a specific place—Kensington is a neighborhood in Philadelphia, and such place names (often tied to area codes or regions) identify location. The other names are generic gang labels without a geographic tag, so they don’t point to a place in their titles. So the option that includes a place in its name is the one that stands out as having a geographic reference.
