CONTROL OF POLITICS=CONTROL OF POLICE

AFRICAN AMERICAN GROUPS DID NOT HAVE THE WIDE POLITICAL BASE TO RESIST

THEN THESE TWO OC LEADERS BECAME PARTNERS VITO GENOVESE BUMPY JOHNSON

IT WAS ALL ABOUT DRUGS!

GENOVESE WAS THE FIRST MAFIA BOSS TO BECOME HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE DRUG BUSINESS

REMEMBER DEFENDED NEIGHBORHOODS? NEIGHBORHOODS

HAD FEWER RAPES,MUGGINGS, AND OTHER CRIMES THAN OTHER AREAS

IS THIS THE CASE IN GANG NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE US?

NIGERIAN ORGANIZED CRIME

CORRUPT,OIL RICH COUNTRY

POORLY ORGANIZED POLICE AGENCIES

DRUG DEALING SOPHISTICATED

ECONOMIC CRIMES ADVANCE FEE SCAM PHONY LETTERS

JAMAICAN ORGANIZED CRIME

COUNTRY IN 1962 THE TWO POLITICAL PARTIES IN

JAMAICA USED THE POSSES TO INTIMIDATE AND ATTACK OPPONENTS. (HMMMMM)
