is organized crime as prevelant in other countries as it is in the US?

Question

Because I find it outrageous who has been allowed in this country historically, and don't get me wrong I'm for immigration because if it wasn't around no one would be here, but I don't understand why we allowed the lowest criminals from Italy to come here and start ther gangs. Do other countries have organized gangs like this?

Answer 1

You are Kidding right??? The Japanese Mob was around When the Sicilian Gangs were still F*ing Sheep in the Hills..... Hey what movie was that from?????

Answer 2

I cannot tell you about rest of the world but I can tell that in India it is probably 20 times more than in United Stares.Govt.Ministers in the Regional states are also the regional Crime Bosses in India even one of the ex Prime Minister was running the Railway Thief's Gang of Pickpockets and stealing from Freight Trains.The Police is 100% involved with them.You have to bribe to become a non commissioned police officer where as High Police post are controlled by Political appointments Generally reserved for their own Sons and Relatives.Same is the case with Income Tax Department.Bollywood The film industry is 100% controlled by them.To make the things worst even the religious leaders are involved.Same is the case with Pakistan but over there Army and Regional Tribal Chiefs call the Shots.
Where as in United states the Rich class is corrupt but ordinary American citizens are mostly Law abiding and honest hard working Citizens This is probably the reason that United States Is probably the best country in the World.You will never find this thing in India or Pakistan.

Answer 3

Even more so in other countries. The Russian Mafia are infamous for ruling the old Soviet before the breakdown of the union. The Cosa Nostra, the Yakuza are also infamous.

Organized crime is probably the second oldest profession in the world, right behind prostitution - which makes sense. They had to have someone to shake down and hookers made the perfect target.

Answer 4

Other countries are far far worse than the US. Especially the former soviet union countries and many african countries. Besides, many of the people who have recently turned states' evidence against italian mafia bosses in the us have said that the italian mafia's scale of operations in the us has decreased about 90% over the past 10 years due to many arrests and convictions. BTW, there were many powerful crime syndicates in the us that were irish, asian and european.

Answer 5

I know other people have to have answered this, but yes. In fact, most other developed countries have even worse issues with organized crime. The Russian Mob, the Japanese Mob, China runs rampant with them...

Answer 6

Heck yea!

Answer 7

Far more so than ever in the US.
