Organized Crime In The 1920's

Organized crime.

Gangs, mafias, and cartels, all different names but they all create the same problems to the world. These organizations produce worldwide turmoil with their distinct classifications of illegal activity. The fear that they create in people’s lives is what makes all of them the same. Only thing is, they all have different origins, and do not work the same way.

Gangs are one of the leading for growth of violent crimes, mostly in lower class neighborhoods. Most are organized based on race, ethnicity, territory, or money-making activities. Many are really smart and can be well organized. All use violence to control neighborhoods and boost their illegal money making activities such as robbery, drug/ gun trafficking, fraud and prostitution.

Later on started catching the violent activities when noticing it would bring up money. With the big immigration going on to America, the Italians took its Mafia with them.

American mafia rose to power in the 1920’s. Different from Italian mafia but same traditions like omerta, a code of conduct and loyalty. Good at keeping secrecy because of the code, they would also bribe and intimidate officials, business leaders, witnesses, and juries. 1980’s-1990’s prosecutors in America and Italy began successfully employing anti-rackeeting laws to convict top-ranking mobsters. By the start of the 21’st century, mafias appeared to be weakened in both countries, however, it was not fully eliminated and some still exist today. It is believed that today mafias and some Brazilian gangs are running one of the world’s largest organizations, FIFA.

Fifa (Federation International Football association) is one of the biggest organization groups in the world. It represents the world’s most played sport, the beautiful game, Football (soccer). Founded in 1904 in Switzerland, Fifa is the government of soccer, just like a countries government it has its own branches. The president is Joseph Blatter from Switzerland. Sadly, it has been corrupt for many

It is a worldwide issue, which involves the previous mentioned organizations, gangs, cartels, and mafias. The balkan and northern routes are the main heroin trafficking corridors linking Afghanistan to the huge markets of Russia and western Europe. This brings concern to the people in the area and which cannot live their ordinary lives. Also brings up the murder rate because of fighting for land to trade.

Human trafficking is growing rapidly in the world. Being prostitutes in the streets and selling people to be their own slave. About 1.2 million kids are trafficked every year.

It is number 2 in the trafficking rank behind drug trafficking. 80% are women and little girls that are trafficked every year. There are reports that some organizations are switching drug cargo for humans. Most of the human trafficking is taking place in the poorest countries.

Drug trafficking is the leading trafficking the world. Truly is a huge problem to the world, especially because it takes place everywhere in the world and it is illegal.

Marijuana is the leading drug in the world. It is leading in every country. North
