Since his testimony, hundreds of connected men…

Within the gangster, and organized crime movie genre, we see a common theme amongst the gender roles: the overemphasis of masculinity, and the inferiority of women. Much like the underworld civilization they depict, gangster films have been extremely male-dominated since their beginning (Coccimiglio, 2013). Masculinity is highly accentuated in most gangster films, with the main male characters embodying a code of manliness that is violent, ruthless, and unforgiving. Although most of the…

The story behind my first name, Gavin, is a relatively simple. The name Gavin has been a popular name for some time now. In the year 2000, it became one of the top one hundred most popular names for babies. It kept climbing in popularity after that, becoming the sixty-first most common name when I was born (2002), eventually becoming the thirtieth most popular first name. My parents picked the name out for me in that manner; they saw and liked the name in a baby names book. However, the name…

Los Angeles County is the most dangerous place in California because of the gang culture that moves around it (Bartholomew, 2015). Cholo, ese, vato are all words that hispanic gang members use to refer to one another. Here in California, Hispanic gangs began to form during the early 1920s or as also referred to the Roaring Twenties. These groups started to form and get together in their neighborhoods or as known as the barrios. These individuals who got together in these groups all had similar…

clearly showing his lack of remorse for wrongdoing. He was later arrested for an unrelated issue however while being escorted from court each morning co- defendants would bow and blow a kiss as he passed. A clear- protocol gesture one would make as a mafia greeting to a senior godfather figure. Cosa Nostra often funded Catholic churches by making very sizable ‘donations’ to them. Much of the suspicious connection between organizations was first recognized through the generous donations made by…

declared dead at 1:00 p.m. in Parkland Memorial Hospital (November 22, 1963). The mafia is one of the leading conspiracy theories around many assassinations. The man who killed Lee Harvey Oswald was Jack Ruby. He was a casino owner and was tied to the mafia. One possible theory around Lee Harvey Oswald death was Jack Ruby wanted him dead so that the FBI couldn’t interrogate him. The Warren Commission dropped the mafia off the list…

selling them at cost, I think it is reasonable. Being controlled by the Mafia or gangland, the price of drugs would be very high, which indirectly causes the increase the occurrence of crime events.

As far as I am concerned, it is better to sell drugs by the government rather than let the Mafia take charge of the sell…
