New York Italian Mafia
[ send me this research ]
6 pages in length. Popular culture routinely portrays the New York Italian Mafia as a malignant tumor on the face of society. After assessing the facts against what popular culture has had to say about the brutalizing collection of Italian gang members, it can easily be argued that New York's Italian Mafia has earned the literary reputation it has worked so feebly to dispel. Not only is this violent group guilty of living an existence that mirrors such interpretation as brought about by author Mario Puzo, but it has also been quite successful at reaching beyond prison walls and infiltrating society at various levels as a means by which to gather pertinent information. The extent to which New York's Italian Mafia has its fingers spread throughout the community – from cops to merchants and public officials to the neighborhood drug dealer – is both implausible and repugnant. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
