Overview
Overall, men seemed to dominate the organised crime in America however there were a few strong-willed women too who were just as ruthless as the men they went up against. Most gangsters specialized in organised crime which was harder for the authorities to catch them for, this meant that they could become as famous as they wanted for their crimes without being easily caught by the FBI. Furthermore, although the FBI caught a few of these gangsters most of them met their demise by involving themselves in rival gangs and killing each other. The big money was made in smuggling in alcohol, many gangsters then aimed to control the smuggling of alcohol for whole cities or in some cases countries. One of the main things that gangs did was offer people protection for large sums of money, that is mainly how large crime families got involved in the untouchable world of organised crime.
