		It has been suggested that the name 'crip' is an acronym for 'cowards run in packs.' This explanation I'm inclined to write off to revisionism (as the backdating of a taunt cast in the gang's direction), for I cannot see any street gang choosing a disparagement as the basis for its name.
		It's also been advanced that 'crips' is a mispronounciation of 'crypts', a word strongly evocative of death and the finality of same, one that builds on the gang's image of serving the Grim Reaper.
		Crips is an abbreviation for cripple, nickname of the gang's founder, who walked with a limp.

		The fact that the four defendants were longtime Crips, and that they had gotten together outside their home neighborhoods to commit robberies, indicated that the proceeds of the crimes were intended to benefit the gang.
		He cited Magnuson’s testimony that all of the defendants were Crips and were known to use the “c” hand signal common to the larger gang, and that members of different Crips subsets often commit crimes together, whereas no Crips member would commit crimes with a non-Crip.
		Sills went on to conclude that there was sufficient evidence to prove that the Crips are a criminal street gang under the STEP Act, that is, an organization whose members have engaged in a “pattern” of felonies involving theft, guns, violence, or drug dealing.

		By 1979, the Crips had grown from a small Los Angeles gang to an organization with membership spread across the State of California.
		By this time, Crips had also become just like the gang members they had once sought to protect themselves from -- Crips had become gangbangers who terrorized their own neighborhoods.
