Santa Cruz NorteÑo Graffiti The following local photographs represent Norteño criminal street gangs in Santa Cruz - North Side Santa Cruz and West Side Santa Cruz/West Side Chicos.

Why Gang Graffiti is Dangerous The purpose of gang graffiti is to glorify the gang. Gang graffiti is meant to create a sense of intimidation and may increase the sense of fear within a neighborhood. Gang members use graffiti to mark their territory or turf, declare their allegiance to the gang, and to challenge rivals.

North Side Santa Cruz “NSSC” stands for North Side Santa Cruz. NSSC claims 17th Avenue in Live Oak as their territory. “Norte” is the Spanish word for north.

The photo to the left shows “NS” which stands for North Side The photo to the left shows “NS” which stands for North Side. The “S” with a small line through it is a sign of disrespect towards the Sureño criminal street gang. The number 14 is a numerical symbol for the Norteño criminal street gang as it stands for the 14th letter of the alphabet, “N.” The photo to the right shows “NSSC” which stands for North Side Santa Cruz. The small lines through both of the S’s are a sign of disrespect to Sureños. The X4 stands for 14 as the X is the roman numeral number 10.

This graffiti illustrates two rival gangs attempting to claim territory. The first tagging (in blue) was done by the Sureño gang Beach Flats Sureños in blue “BFS” and includes “Sur 13.” Sur is the Spanish word for Southern and 13 is for the 13th letter of the alphabet, “M,” which is for the Mexican Mafia. The Mexican Mafia is the prison gang that ultimately controls street-level Sureños. The second tagging was done by the Norteño criminal street gang NSSC (North Side Santa Cruz) with the S’s crossed out as a sign of disrespect towards the Sureño gang. In addition XIV was tagged which is the roman numeral number 14. The initial tag by the Sureños was a claim of territory and the second tag by the Norteños was a sign of disrespect and challenge to the Sureños.

West Side Santa Cruz

“SC” with the “S” crossed out is a sign of disrespect towards the Sureño criminal street gang. The one and four dots stands for the number 14 along with the actual number 14 which is the 14th letter of the alphabet, “N.” The letter “N” stands for Nuestra Familia which is Spanish means “Our Family.” Nuestra Familia, also known as “NF” is the prison gang that controls street-level Norteños. “Norte” is the Spanish word for North and the “WS” stands for West Side.

West Side Santa Cruz Note: the “S” is crossed out

Common Norteño Symbols Depicted in the drawing below is a bird that is known as the “huelga” bird which was originally used as a symbol for Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers. Norteños have adopted this symbol and use it to represent themselves. “XIV” is also drawn here. Norcal clothing and writings are commonly used by the Norteño criminal street gang as signs or symbols. The star is also a symbol that Norteños use.
