122. Organized Crime THE BEGINNING OF organized crime IN EAST ST. The soldiers crushed the Klan, and it essentially collapsed as an element of organized crime in Southern Illinois. http://www.eslarp.uiuc.edu/ibex/archive/nunes/esl history/organized_crime.htm

Home Up Introduction Timelines ... 1911 Order [ Organized Crime ] Rails Ordinances Loisel Village Supermarket ... Wortman Obit THE BEGINNING OF ORGANIZED CRIME IN EAST ST. LOUIS by Andrew Theising of St. Louis, Ph. D. To understand organized crime in East St. Louis, one must first look at the small town of Herrin, Illinois, in Williamson County. Herrin was home to two very infamous men - S. Glen Young and Charlie Birger . Both were career criminals who sought to control the bootlegged liquor market in East St. Louis. Young was a leader of the Ku Klux Klan, probably the boldest group of gangsters Southern Illinois had ever known. Not only did the Klan terrorize the town of Herrin, it went so far as to invade the Williamson County courthouse in an attempt to seize power. Birger did not like the Klan, nor Young, and saw the Klan as his primary competition to controlling East St. Louis. East St. Louis was a tempting place for such activity. The city in 1920 had long been known for open vice, lax law enforcement, and a place where five dollars could probably buy anyone out of any situation. No doubt to the Klan's delight, there was racial segregation in East St. Louis and the 1917 race riot where whites attacked blacks was still fresh in everyone's memory. Birger was amazed to discover that there was considerable money flowing in East St. Louis and no truly "hometown" organization existed to tap it. Rural men who left the National Stock Yards with pockets full of cash after the livestock auction were especially appealing. Taverns and brothels had long lined the roads between the Yards and downtown.

123. ORGANIZED CRIME IS BLEEDING RUSSIA DRY organized crime IS BLEEDING RUSSIA DRY By Steve Macko, ERRI Crime Analyst. But Russian organized crime groups prefer to deposit most of their proceeds abroad. http://www.emergency.com/russacrm.htm

From: ENN EMERGENCY SERVICES REPORT-EmergencyNet NEWS Service-Thursday, July 3, 1997 Vol. 1 - 184 ORGANIZED CRIME IS BLEEDING RUSSIA DRY By Steve Macko, ERRI Crime Analyst According to a recent study conducted in the United States, almost 50 percent of the Russian economy is controlled by organized crime and billions upon billions of dollars are leaving the country as a result. The study was issued by the World Bank and said: "In Russia, organized crime groups are dominating both legitimate and illegitimate economic sectors simultaneously." The study was authored by Louise Shelley, who is a law professor at American University in Washington. The report also said that new criminal owners of businesses are not interested in making their companies work, but are draining the resources and transferring proceeds abroad, which exacerbates both flight of capital and non- payment of workers wages. The report is based upon Shelley's forthcoming book that will be entitled: "Stealing the Russian State." The study said that Russian organized crime has seized control of more than 40 percent of the total Russian economy by taking advantage of the government's privatization program. Shelley said that the Russian mafia has an even larger stake in such economic sectors as consumer markets, real estate and banking. The study said: "Russian organized crime groups secured a massive transfer of state property because the privatization occurred rapidly, on a huge scale, without legal safeguards and without transparency. These groups used force, if necessary, but relied mainly on their large financial assets and their close ties to the former Communist Party elite, the military and the banking sector."

Organized Crime - The Dumbing of Discourse Michael Woodiwiss Abstract The term 'organized crime' can be used in two very different senses. It can simply mean systematic and illegal activity for power or profit. Today, however, the term is usually used in a second sense, and has become virtually synonymous with gangsters in general or the 'Mafia' or mafia-type organisations, in particular. The implied or stated answer to the problem of organized crime understood in this sense involves increasing the law enforcement power of every individual nation state and, because these organisations are now known to operate globally, increasing the collective power of the internationally community. The threat posed by organized crime in other words must be met by nations committing more resources towards increasing the effectiveness of policing efforts at home and collaborative efforts between nations. This paper draws attention to the defects in current conceptualisations of organized crime by presenting an outline of American and international efforts to conceptionalise and combat the problem. This problem, however, is rarely so structured and never so separate from society and legitimate institutions as the conventional use of the term implies. Introduction The term 'organized crime' can be used in two very different senses. It can simply mean systematic and illegal activity for power or profit. Today, however, the term is usually used in a second sense, and has become virtually synonymous with gangsters in general or the 'Mafia' or mafia-type organisations, in particular. It is usually implied or stated by those using the term in this sense that gangster organisations have gained an unacceptable level of power through violence and the ability to corrupt weak, greedy and therefore

Organized Crime / U.S. Ashman, Charles. The CIA-Mafia Link. New York: Manor Books, 1975. 234 pages. This book deserves credit as the first to explore the CIA's ties to the Mafia in the context of various assassinations. It was published in 1975, when the Church Committee the Senate's select committee to study governmental operations with respect to intelligence activities, chaired by Idaho Democrat Frank Church was preparing for hearings. Chapters include the Rockefeller Commission cover-up, the assassination of Sam Giancana, the CIA's Castro capers, the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the assassination of Rafael Trujillo, miscellaneous murders, and a final chapter on the backgrounds of the Church Committee members. In 1975 Charles Ashman was a Los Angeles-based late-night talk show host on syndicated television, and had already published books with titles such as "Kissinger: The Adventures of Super-Kraut," "The Finest Judges Money Can Buy," "Martha [Mitchell]: The Mouth that Roared," and "Connally: The Adventures of Big Bad John." It might be called pulp nonfiction, as they were probably shipped out in a hurry to capture the topical interests of the masses (this book has no index). Nevertheless, they are considerably more comprehensive than what the newspapers had to offer; apparently it doesn't take much to improve on mainstream journalism. By 1988 Ashman was foreign correspondent for the Sunday Express of London. Davis, John H. Mafia Dynasty: The Rise and Fall of the Gambino Crime Family. New York: HarperCollins, 1993. 450 pages.
