In terms of America, it has died down dramatically in the past 15 years. Old members of the Mafia have been convicted of crimes they committed years and years ago and have gone to jail for it. Also, the new generation mafia has been known to have problems keeping their mouth shut and are getting caught more and more.

It's still here, I'm told. I saw a show on TV about this last week.
In the US, it's been crippled by the RICO laws. There are maybe 20-30 members in Chicago, for example. There used to be 5-6 times that many. Other major cities are way down, too.
In Italy, however, they claimed that the mafia accounted for the largest single segment of the Italian economy.
