Executive Summary:
The Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips (R60s NHC) are assessed as one of the largest individual Crip subsets in the United States, with an estimated operational strength exceeding 8,000 members concentrated primarily in the Hyde Park and Crenshaw corridor of South Los Angeles. Established circa 1976 during the rapid proliferation of Crip sets across South Central Los Angeles, the R60s aligned under the Neighborhood Crips (NHC) car, distinguishing themselves from Gangster Crip factions. The 1979 rupture between Neighborhood Crips and Gangster Crips — ignited by a violent altercation between R60s and Eight Tray Gangster Crips — produced the most enduring internal Crip conflict, which has generated hundreds of homicides over four decades.
Primary illicit revenue streams include street-level and wholesale narcotics distribution (crack cocaine, PCP, cannabis, fentanyl), armed robbery, burglary, carjacking, identity theft, fraud schemes, and contract violence. The R60s have been the subject of numerous federal and state-level investigations, including multiple LAPD South Bureau task force operations and ATF firearms interdiction cases. Notable members have included prominent figures in the entertainment industry, which has amplified the set's cultural visibility and recruiting pipeline. Nationwide migration patterns — driven by both criminal enterprise expansion and member displacement — have established R60s cliques in major metropolitan areas across the Western, Southern, and Southwestern United States.
