Mafia
An Italian-American group, the American Mafia, is a organized crime group that works in large cities, primarily New York and Chicago, led by mobsters that were seen as untouchable. Men that were feared by everybody, Al Capone, John Gotti, etc. They performed horrible deeds in order to get more drugs, alcohol, money, etc. They had many rituals to become a member and only admitted the most trusted people. If you were in, there was no going back, you were part of the family. This was explained in the movie "The Godfather" part one and two, that family doesn't back out. They were known for their bootleg liquor during the prohibition. It is still running today. There are all different mafias. They are secluded to the heritage of the people in it. There is an Italian Mafia, Russian Mafia, Irish Mafia and many more. Like the American mafia, they mostly do their deeds in the major cities. They would infiltrate the government system (mayors, policemen, judges, etc). They would also pay off officials before a court hearing to get the man being accused either convicted or let off the hook. This is a big reason why all of the mafia was and still are feared by everybody. Like they say " You hit me, we hit you."
A lot of other gangs that form are predominantly Puerto Rican and African American. They form mostly in poor areas and they are sometimes vandalism groups.
