This survey was taken by John Hagedorn, a former gang member, and an active drug seller from each of the three neighborhoods in Milwaukee. It shows how extensive the drug economy was in 1992 when the survey was taken. Things haven't changed. See Hagedorn's The Business of Selling Drugs in Milwaukee. (go to Reports, Vol. 11)
