How would you describe organized crime?
831747
MY definition? : Any group of individuals who conspire to and by their actions intend to cheat, steal, rob, murder, mame, defraud, or otherwise due unjust harm to any other individual or group of individuals for personal or collective gains.\n\nIf I expanded on this it would include too many groups to list here. Examples could be or include: Street gangs, Drug Traffickers, Government Officials, Members of Law enforcement, Religious Leaders and/or organizations, Military Leaders, Credit Card Companies, Bankers, Insurance Companies, Corporations, Big Business, Car Sales People, etc....etc.....etc. \n\nIt's all the same. Organized "crime". Some of those I just listed do it with a gun, others do it with the stroke of a pen.

No, I am thinking more like the Duvaliers ( sp ?) of Haiti. \nFrom Papa Doc on down to Chimpy Doc, you won't see a better example of a crime family.

I don't beleive the ever got together.\n\n"These curious and usually concealed connections between governments (in the form of the military and intelligence community), organised crime, the Vatican and Nazi war criminals have some significant history. Not least was the secret agreement reached between US Naval Intelligence officers and Mafia don Charles "Lucky" Luciano during World War II. This resulted in the Mafia's decision to aid and assist the Allies by contacting Mob figure Vito Genovese in 1943 to prepare the way for the Allied landing in Sicily. As earlier outlined, it was primarily those SS&endash;Gestapo units located in Italy under command of SS General Wolff that were initially concerned in the Operation Sunrise negotiations."

Yeah \nThe term "mafia" describes a specific secret society in Sicily and their descendants in the United States of America where Sicilian organized criminals had spread by the early 20th century through immigration.\n\nMafia power peaked in the United States in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s somewhat curtailed the Mafia's influence. Despite the decline, the Mafia and its reputation have become entrenched in American popular culture, portrayed in movies, TV shows, and even product commercials.\n\nToday the Italian-American Mafia remains the most powerful criminal organization operating in the USA and uses this status to maintain control over the majority of both Chicago's and New York City's criminal enterprises. It also has links to the more established organization from which it sprung, the original Sicilian Mafia.\n\nMafia power in Sicily is much more well established and complete. Corruption is widespread, and local government is almost an offshoot of the organization itself. Mafia influence in the national legislature has long been suspected, but never proven outright\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia

All organizations/clubs have their good/bad points.  Am sure there are good/bad people in the Mafia.  \nYes, the Mafia is alive and probably working for our government under the guise of CIA at this time...lol

You can't ask to join the Mafia. You have to be asked. Technically, Mafiosi are not supposed to admit the organization they belong to exists. They don't even call it the Mafia, it's "Our Thing", or "This Thing of Ours", aka La Cosa Nostra. I suppose if you wanted to move to one of the cities with a Family, then start a profitable criminal enterprise, if you could find out who to kick up to, and you would be willing to bash heads if necessary, and did this for a period of several years you could possibly be asked to join.  That's a big if.\n\nBut why? That life gives you three possible outcomes: You will die, or go to jail, or go into the Federal Witness Protection Program.

Organized crime and drug trafficking are synonomous.\nIn today's drug trafficking everyone involved will eventually come under the control of organized crime,although drug trafficking is at its inception organized crime unto its own.\nOrganized crime, drug trafficking, and political protection are a scourge within our society that needs to be eliminated by each and every one of us.\nIdentify, report, and destroy, Aye!

Probably it means the international scope of the Sicilian mafia.

as compared to our "normal" police force?\n\ncompare:  both are enlisted to control mobs and maintain order.\ncontrast:  a hired mercenary knows his trade.  Our "badge and gun" officers don't care.  Unfortunately, we have too many "badge and guns" walking their beat.

NO BUDDY  these amricans are just hoax and humours they know nothing about being real gangster or mafia...till 1999 ppl thought the only dangerous ppl are italian mafias or russian because they are always portrayed in movies and big books written on them ...And then entered the terrorist the Taliban from afghan thats when they realised what terrorism is and real killing is and big international crime is..American ganster or so called gangsta are nothing but poser jus singing song selling drugs in the club..Is a great deal for them ..I think ur from India and in India if its mafia means real big man where the interpol is lookin for the person . And u can never make out an hardcore gangster in the midst of people walking in bombay cause they dont show off what they are ..because in India the police first hit and then talk or if he's being too naughty then he's encountered..These are nothing compared to the asian gangster only they are not popular in western countries...and always underground.its called the MUMBAI UNDERWORLD....which even controls   the bollywood and finances of major countries of the world...so the gangsta ur talkin bout is not gangsta they are called cheap posers,who invite trouble on themselves....

Sting Operation\n\nIf a law enforcement agency sees a pattern of crime, then they set up the 'bait' and see if a perpetrator will take it - like a beautiful girl dressed like a hooker in the "wrong side of town" district.\nThe girl makes no offer - lets the other person make all the statements (otherwise if she makes the offer it is entrapment) - he says the right words - what sex act for how much\n\nhe is toast and he gets STUNG

you might want to consider which organized crime group controls the neighborhood you want to open one in and get their input. They might have people on their payroll who can grease the wheels of beauracracy for you, and besides you will end up having to deal with them anyway.
