Crime Stories

I am writing some work about Crime Families for my criminology essay, can you help me?

So, the topic is "Crime Families in the 21st Century", right now all i can find mainly relates to Crime during the 1920s to 1960s. Are there still some Crime Families out there? How do they work? The Police has a lot of ways to convict them now, so what keeps them running? Corruption? What do they make their money with? Drugs? How do these Crime Families organize their rank/contact structure?

1. You knocked on the right door. Come visit me in Little Italy some day and i will introduce you to the Family...
2. Yes there are many different kinds of crime families.. Traditional "Organized Crime" came from Sicily and is very structured much like a business. That's one of the reasons it exists till this day. There are organized crime families all over the world and in the U.S. in each state. It has a very long history. Check out the link and you'll find history, info on structure etc. relating to crime families. I hope this helps.
