Although the Juggalo subculture stems from the [[horrorcore]] subgenre of the general hip hop music fandom,  criminal and gang-related activity has been attributed to self-described 'Juggalos' in recent years,{{When|date=January 2018}} including [[assault]]s,<ref name="ngic report">{{cite web |url=http://info.publicintelligence.net/NGIC-Juggalos.pdf |title=National Gang Intelligence Center Juggalos Intelligence Report |publisher=Public Intelligence |date=2012-03-26 |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=January 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200129093748/http://info.publicintelligence.net/NGIC-Juggalos.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="fbi report">{{cite web |url=https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/2011-national-gang-threat-assessment |title=FBI — 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment |publisher=Fbi.gov |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=June 19, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160619180553/https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/2011-national-gang-threat-assessment/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="juggalo killers">{{cite web |last=Miller |first=Jessica |url=http://www.standard.net/topics/gangs/2010/10/09/juggalo-killers-new-breed-gang |title='Juggalo Killers' a new breed of gang |publisher=Standard.net |date=2012-10-08 |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130307215830/http://www.standard.net/topics/gangs/2010/10/09/juggalo-killers-new-breed-gang |archive-date=2013-03-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Illegal drug trade|drug trafficking]],<ref name="ngic report" /><ref name="fbi report" /> [[vandalism]],<ref name="ngic report" /> [[burglary]],<ref name="fbi report" /> shootings,<ref name="fbi report" /> theft,<ref name="ngic report" /><ref name="fbi report" /> [[robbery]],<ref name="fbi report" /> and numerous [[murder]]s.<ref name="ngic report" /><ref name="juggalohio murder">{{cite web |url=http://trenchreynolds.me/2012/04/09/a-gathering-of-juggalos-accused-in-grisly-ohio-murder/ |title=A gathering of Juggalos accused in grisly Ohio murder &#124; Trench Reynolds |publisher=Trenchreynolds.me |date=2012-04-09 |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=March 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130323132020/http://trenchreynolds.me/2012/04/09/a-gathering-of-juggalos-accused-in-grisly-ohio-murder/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="juggalo price murder">{{cite web |author=Andrew Scott |url=http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20090425%2FNEWS%2F904250348%2F-1%2FLIVING100105 |title=Teens to be tried in Price Township 'Juggalo' murder |publisher=PoconoRecord.com |date=2009-04-25 |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=December 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141214232443/http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20090425%2FNEWS%2F904250348%2F-1%2FLIVING100105 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="vasey abc one">{{cite web |last=Bashir |first=Martin |url=https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/law-enforcement-claims-horrorcore-genre-incites-crime/story?id=9739420#.UJtSV-Sunww |title=Law Enforcement Claims 'Horrorcore' Genre Incites Crime - ABC News |publisher=Abcnews.go.com |date=2010-03-09 |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=September 18, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130918115335/https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/law-enforcement-claims-horrorcore-genre-incites-crime/story?id=9739420#.UJtSV-Sunww |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Interaction between violent and nonviolent Juggalos ===

According to a 2011 [[National Gang Intelligence Center]] report, the Juggalo subculture is split between violent and nonviolent factions. Some members of the Juggalos street gang even look down on non-criminal Juggalos, considering them to be weak,<ref name="ngic report" /> and criminal Juggalo gangs have committed attacks on non-gang-related Juggalos.<ref name="JK">{{cite news |author=Jessica Miller |url=http://www.standard.net/topics/gangs/2010/10/09/juggalo-killers-new-breed-gang |title='Juggalo Killers' a new breed of gang |newspaper=The Standard-Examiner |date=2010-10-11 |access-date=2014-01-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130307215830/http://www.standard.net/topics/gangs/2010/10/09/juggalo-killers-new-breed-gang |archive-date=2013-03-07 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Both Juggalo gang affiliates and nonviolent Juggalos believe in the Juggalo "family." However, some nonviolent Juggalos do not believe that any gang-related activity should be associated with the Juggalo lifestyle.<ref name="ngic report" />

=== Public and artist reactions ===

The Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit against the FBI about the gang-listing.<ref name="fbi lawsuit">{{cite web |author=File Photo |url=http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2012/09/insane_clown_posse_files_suit.html |title=Insane Clown Posse suing FBI in Flint federal court over Juggalo gang listing |date=September 26, 2012 |publisher=MLive.com |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=November 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104202030/http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2012/09/insane_clown_posse_files_suit.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In December 2012, ICP agreed to withdraw their involvement as plaintiffs.<ref>{{cite web |author=ScottyD |url=http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/2013/01/update-on-psychopathics-lawsuit-against-the-fbi/ |title=Update on Psychopathic's lawsuit against the FBI! |publisher=Faygoluvers |date=2013-01-08 |access-date=2014-01-10 |archive-date=February 12, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212143031/http://www.faygoluvers.net/v5/2013/01/update-on-psychopathics-lawsuit-against-the-fbi/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Psychopathic Records launched the website juggalosfightback.com for fans to submit stories about unfair treatment by law enforcement. ICP hopes to use these stories in their legal battle to declassify Juggalos as a gang.<ref>{{cite web|last=Dodero |first=Camille |title=Insane Clown Posse Actually, Legitimately, Amazingly is Suing the FBI |url=http://gawker.com/5946200/insane-clown-posse-actually-legitimately-amazingly-is-suing-the-fbi |publisher=[[Gawker]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212132800/http://gawker.com/5946200/insane-clown-posse-actually-legitimately-amazingly-is-suing-the-fbi |archive-date=2013-02-12}}</ref>

The classification of Juggalos as a criminal gang was ridiculed by the technology magazine ''[[Wired magazine|Wired]]'' in a November 2011 article, with journalist [[Spencer Ackerman]] referring to previous scandals involving FBI harassment of [[Muslim-Americans]].<ref name="wired juggalos">{{cite magazine |author=Spencer Ackerman |author-link=Spencer Ackerman |url=https://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/10/fbi-gang-insane-clown-posse/ |title=FBI's Newest Gang Threat: Insane Clown Posse Fans &#124; Danger Room |magazine=[[Wired magazine|Wired]] |access-date=2012-11-08 |archive-date=March 23, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140323014439/http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/10/fbi-gang-insane-clown-posse |url-status=live }}</ref>

On January 8, 2014, Insane Clown Posse along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed suit again against the FBI. The suit aims to have Juggalos no longer considered to be a gang and to have any "criminal intelligence information" about Juggalos destroyed.<ref name="fbi lawsuit 2">{{cite news |last=Itzkoff |first=Dave |title=Insane Clown Posse Defends Fans, With F.B.I.
