The Truth Behind Organized Crime
One of my favorite movies and perhaps one of the greatest ones ever made stars the great Al Pacino, its name, Scarface. The plot of this incredible film is about a Cuban refugee named Tony Montana who starts with nothing and becomes one of the most powerful hit men in America. He becomes addicted to cocaine, drinks heavily and has more money than he ultimately knows what to do with. I don’t want to ruin the end of the movie but I will say that he goes a little wild on cocaine and has some unwanted visitors enter his property. Al Pacino also stars in some other great movies about organized crime, The Godfather series and Heat, are a couple. If you have seen any of these movies, you’ll know that the main characters are involved in or have made a career in some kind of organized crime. There are three types of criminals featured in these films: the mafia, professional thieves, and hit men. All three of these have a few things in common; they all acquire a lot of money, kill people and constantly avoid the police. I’m going to explain some of the main ways organized crime is run in our country and some things we should do to try and stop it.One stereotype that needs to be explained
The market for organized crime is always primed for the entrepreneur at heart with a lot of guts. These people are ethical at home and unethical in their business, nothing gets in the way of them gaining large profit quickly(Alexander and Caiden, pg. 6). In the midst of them doing business innocent people get in the way without knowing. Civilians, lawyers, judges and police officers sometimes stumble onto something much larger than they intended to or had no idea about; these innocent people that are supposed to be fighting against crime may combine with criminals and become involved themselves in racketeering, extortion, and bribery to fix cases. If they decide not to comply with these criminals it could be the end of their life. The powerful criminals do not want to risk losing all that they have by being caught by the police, so corruption plays a large role in some crime groups. These groups will pay off law officials to keep from being exposed(Alexander and Caiden, pg. 25). Not all organized crime works this way but it does play a large role in the business. Violence is not always associated with organized crime, victimless crimes play a large part in this underworld business, but when problems arise between organizations they don’t have legal help like regular citizens so they often turn to criminal and violent force to deal with problems. Al Pacino’s movies end with the “bad” guy getting murdered, bringing an end to a substantial crime organization and the world being a better place. Wouldn’t it be nice if the real world was so convenenient? first is that the organized crime in America is not run by Italian or Sicilian families who are known as the mafia.
