Hvordan påvirket den amerikanske mafiaen samfunnet

[Ducklink]

Hei har en fordypningsoppgave i engelsk og den er om den Amerikanske Mafiaen og hvordan den påvirket samfunnet.

 

 

 

Men jeg finner somregel kun stof om mafiaen og ikke om hva som skjedde rundt.

 

Er det noen her som har noen linker?

Her står det om hvordan forbudet mot alkohol åpnet for smugling (i stor grad utført av mafiaen). Dette hadde mange negative ringvirkninger i samfunnet.

 

Many social problems have been attributed to the Prohibition era. A profitable, often violent, black market for alcohol flourished. Racketeering happened when powerful gangs corrupted law enforcement agencies. Stronger liquor surged in popularity because its potency made it more profitable to smuggle. The cost of enforcing prohibition was high, and the lack of tax revenues on alcohol (some $500 million annually nationwide) affected government coffers. When repeal of prohibition occurred in 1933, following passage of the Twenty-first Amendment, organized crime lost nearly all of its black market alcohol profits in most states (states still had the right to enforce their own laws concerning alcohol consumption), due to competition with low-priced alcohol sales at legal liquor stores.

 

Dette står det masse om i blant annet wikipedia, det er bare å snuse litt rundt
