Organized Crime Group Analysis

How would you feel if a white supremacist came to your city and started violence? The Aryan Nation is a white supremacist,they are one of the most known neo Nazi. They met in Idaho and had meetings for all neo Nazis to come to and pitch ideas on what to do next. People in Idaho were furious when they found out about this group,but they couldn’t do anything about. The Aryan Nation have left an imprint Idaho and people still talk about it even after the dispersal.

The Aryan brotherhood was originally started in the San Quentin prison in California in 1967. “Members display many white supremacist, neo-nazi characteristics and ideology, but often but often state their goals as simply “getting high and getting over,” or making their stay in prison as comfortable as possibly” (Florida Department of Corrections). Being that the Aryan Brotherhood is made up of white people, who show that neo-nazi mentality, some of the enemies of this gang include Black Guerilla Family, Crips, Bloods, and El Rukns, because these gangs are made up of mostly black members. The Aryan Brotherhood will use black associates to sell drugs within the prisons to other black prisoners, this will eliminate the exposure they have with rival gangs. They do maintain a working type of relationship with the Mexican Mafia, and are known to work alongside biker groups. It is said many of them were once part of these biker groups.

The Aryan Brotherhood was founded in 1960 with the primary principle being to defend against other ethnic groups who were forming gangs. The Aryan Brotherhood consists of white Caucasians and began within the prison walls around California. Membership initiation increased as the gang spread to other states and currently, they have 15,000 initiated members. Although the AB constitutes for a minor percentage among gang population, their presence of violent behavior and conduct is prominent with 18% of murders

Cults obtain very anti-semitic perceptions that marginalize minority groups to ultimately advocate the supremacy of the white culture. A globally familiar xenophobic organization, “Ku Klux Klan,” is notorious for their history of brutalities committed due to cultural intolerance. The secret societies express their animosity due to obscure ideologies and sufficient ignorance. To begin, the Ku Klux Klan acquires a victimizing political belief system that states in which minorities are a mass threat to society. The organization’s core philosophical conclusion is that White America is threatened by “racial impurities.” The KKK creates an ignorant theory that the government supports and defends minorities, therefore the racists victimize

They, in the beginning of their existence, claimed that they were a Christian organization, but in later years they persecuted Catholics and performed violent acts against them. Throughout their existence, they haven't had any known alliances with other hate or terrorist groups. They recruit by using fliers, hosting rallies, and by using word of mouth. They look to add white, Christian adults who personally oppose anyone that isn't like them. The group was definitely effective during their peaks, which occurred around the 1870s, 1920s, and 1960s. They often used times of uncertainty and change, to rise to power, such as the Reconstruction period, WWI, and the Civil Rights Protests. Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center "estimates that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Klan members, split among dozens of different - and often warring - organizations that use the Klan name." (1) Their overall goal is similar to Hitler's as they are looking for a purification of the American population in which everyone who isn't white should either be killed or not be here. And lastly, they are not supported by anyone outside their group, which is a major reason why they are not prevalent today and why America's population is as diverse as it is

The Ku Klux Clan, notoriously known as the (KKK), was first established as a social club. As time progressed, the clan became an underground movement dedicating itself to violent acts of terror.

There are few adults in this country who have not heard of the terms “Mafia”, the “Mob”, or “Organized Crime”. Hence, there are probably as many opinions of what these terms mean as there are people who know them. Over the years, my perceptions about organized crime came mainly through Hollywood productions or news accounts of criminal activity. Overall, I have had a disapproving opinion of organized crime. I would say that for the most part my perceptions prior to enrollment in this class have been verified by the realities presented in the text, other readings, and videos. However, there are of course significant disparities between my knowledge and the actual facts of the groups.

White supremacists embraced the term ‘Aryan’ advocating ideologically driven white supremacy. Hitler manipulated Darwinism in order to avoid any further contamination of the Aryan ‘master race’. ‘Aryan’ in Nazi ideology was an individual considered racially superior. (Bergman, 1999) The AB combines the violence of a Prison gang, the power and money of organized crime and Nazi ideology. (The Aryan Brotherhood documentary, 2014) New recruits are schooled in Nazism and the superiority of whites. However in order to gain control over criminal enterprise, gangs form business alliances. (ADL, 2002) For the AB “…Organized crime comes first and white supremacist ideology second”. (ADL, 2013) The AB forged an alliance with the well-established Mexican Mafia for ‘business.’ The AB subsequently gained power and reputation. (Morales, 2013) The use of non-white business associates has initiated hostility with other white supremacist

Organized crime groups are usually made up of members with similar ethnic backgrounds (e.g., Italian Mafia, Irish Mob) with the prime objective of seeking wealth and power. In the 1920’ during Prohibition, Organized Crime were instrumental in illegal alcohol sales. The success of Organized depends on an extensive peripheral network. That peripheral network involves bankers, politicians and law enforcement; ergo, these portals revolving around business activity protects the core of organized crime (Stratfor, 2010).

Despite several aggressive efforts by law enforcement agencies, organized crime continues to be a serious social problem (Lyman & Potter, 2014). It is important to understand organized crime and its effects on society. Therefore, this paper analyses the definition of organized crime, law enforcement agencies response to organized crime, and the importance of understanding this form of crime.

Organized crime can have a huge effect not only on individuals, but also on a whole economy due to the black market and its illegal operations. Organized crime also tries to penetrate into legal businesses to strengthen the overall organization. Organizations members and the organizations itself, increases its legal money by investing in power and influence which thus givens them comfortability and a sense of feeling secure (Verhage and Ponsaers, 2009, p.407). Since, individual make up a crime family or organization, one cannot just look at money laundering on a group level, but must also look at those that make up the group and help earn a profit for the organization, they are a part and play more an important role than the organization as

There is no stronger incentive than fear. Clans and secret societies are everywhere; Lawyers, police man, business man, politicians, life insurance sellers, car sellers and real estate agents are just some examples .The difference between them and the Ku Klux Klan is the aim and the means used to achieve their objective. The Klan’s aims is “by force and terror ,to prevent al political action not in accord with the views of member ,to deprive colored citizens of the right to bear arms and of the right of a free ballot ,to suppress the schools in which colored children were taught ,and to reduce the colored people to a condition closely allied to that of slavery”( Levitt ,
