Alex Alonso is the GOAT in his Genre

When reporters, lawyers and cops need a “gang expert,” the person they turn to often has a badge. The result can be a one-sided and myopic depiction of barrio life, says Alex Alonso.
The academic got a close-up view of L.A.'s gangs while growing up in Mid-City and attending John Burroughs Middle School and Los Angeles High. He has documentation even from back then of his fascination with gangs. “I went to all the gang members,” he recalls, “and I said, 'Hit up your gang in my yearbook.'”
Alonso's insight is rare. He downplays, for example, a recurring theme in law enforcement and media lore: that Latino gangs are constantly targeting African-Americans solely because of their race. While there allegedly have been hate crimes perpetrated by Latino gangs such as Big Hazard and Canoga Park Alabama, there is almost always a personal beef at their core, Alonso says.
Part of Alonso's job involves knowing the rules of the streets and interviewing local gang legends with names like OG Beefy and Nutty Blocc.
