Dominicans Don't Play (DDP) is a New York-based street gang comprised of Latino youths whose heritage is traced to the Dominican Republic. They are largely concentrated in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, parts of Queens, The Bronx and Brooklyn. More recently the gang has expanded to New Jersey. Recruiting efforts have been done via sites such as Youtube, and MySpace. [1]. It is the fastest growing gang in the bronx although its membership is estimated at only numbering in the hundreds. [2] Members allegedly wear clothing the colors of the flag of the Dominican republic, which are blue, white and red.[3]

Throughout the group's relatively short history as a gang they have been involved in only one known violent altercation in New York. They are said to have a large share of the drug market due to an association with the Colombian crime cartel. [4]
