> Most traditional organized crime groups were focused more on vice than drugs. Vice being gambling, prostitution/human trafficking, and loan sharking. I find it interesting that all the areas that you mention are sources of revenue for organized crime are either illegal or restricted activities. * Gambling: illegal many places. * Prostitution: illegal many places. * Human trafficking: heavy regulation on immigration (if the trafficked women were to go to the authorities to report it, they'd be transported back to their country of origin) * Loan sharking: illegal many places (a ceiling is put on the interest rate one can legally charge) Imagine if we didn't criminalize the above, and allowed free immigration: would there be anything left for organized crime to make money on?
