The Time Frame Of Relevance For The American Mafia

These organizations came to be known as the American Mafia, the Italian Mafia, or the Italian Mob. These â€Å"families†, as they were called, sprung up in large cities all across the United States. The mob progressed quickly in America, developing from the simplest of crimes to methodical, organized illegal activity. The method of structure and the emphasis of loyalty and secrecy made insiders of the mob very susceptible to exploitation by the local police and federal government agencies, many instances of which were eventually revealed to the public.
