So I’m supposed to be writing this paper for my class and it’s how a specific thing in American history is overlooked in important events (something of this kind). All the good ones where taken so I chose how the mob has had a impact on Popular culture, historical events and the justice system and was wondering if anybody here could help me out a bit.
I obviously know about Rico but there any other specific laws one could attribute where created to combat the mob of (any other criminal group)? Anything is appreciated
If we are talking strictly government efforts, in addition to the 1970 the Organized Crime Control Act (RICO was a part of that), which created a legal framework to prosecute organizations as a whole based on a pattern of racketeering, witness protection program, forfeiture of assets, etc; there was also the 1968 the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, among other things, established rules for obtaining wiretap orders in the U.S.
Something else to consider is the new industry regulations the Giuliani administration made when he became mayor in NYC in the 1990s. It created the Business Integrity Commission to replace the trade waste associations the mob had used to control the waste hauling industry in the city. The BIC also and certain local laws were used to remove mob control of the wholesale food markets.
