gang territory
Crew's claimed area
Gang territory is an area claimed and controlled by a street gang, where members assert dominance and defend against rivals.
Boundaries may be marked by graffiti, and crossing into another gang's territory—or wearing the wrong colors there—can provoke violence: He was shot for wandering into gang territory.
