  • Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968
    Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 By Jonathan Marshall “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami.

  • Theories of Organized Criminal Behavior
    LYMAMC02_0131730363.qxd 12/17/08 3:19 PM Page 59 2 THEORIES OF ORGANIZED CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR This chapter will enable you to: • Understand the fundamentals behind • Learn about social disorganization rational choice theory theories of crime • See how deterrence theory affects • Explain the enterprise theory crime and personal decisions to of organized crime commit crime • Learn how organized crime can be • Learn about theories of crime explained by organizational theory INTRODUCTION In 1993, Medellin cartel founder Pablo Escobar was gunned down by police on the rooftop of his hideout in Medellin, Colombia. At the time of his death, Escobar was thought to be worth an estimated $2 billion, which he purportedly earned during more than a decade of illicit cocaine trafficking. His wealth afforded him a luxurious mansion, expensive cars, and worldwide recognition as a cunning, calculating, and ruthless criminal mastermind. The rise of Escobar to power is like that of many other violent criminals before him. Indeed, as history has shown, major organized crime figures such as Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano, the El Rukinses, Jeff Fort, and Abimael Guzmán, leader of Peru’s notorious Shining Path, were all aggressive criminals who built large criminal enterprises during their lives. The existence of these criminals and many others like them poses many unanswered questions about the cause and development of criminal behavior. Why are some criminals but not others involved with organized crime? Is organ- ized crime a planned criminal phenomenon or a side effect of some other social problem, such as poverty or lack of education? As we seek answers to these questions, we are somewhat frustrated by the fact that little information is available to adequately explain the reasons for participating in organized crime.

  • Sociology Fights Organised Crime: the Story of the Chicago Area Project
    SGOC STUDYING GROUP ON ORGANISED CRIME https://sgocnet.org Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Original article Sociology Fights Organised Crime: The Story of the Chicago Area Project Robert Lombardo* Abstract: This article studies the Chicago Area Project (CAP). Specifically, it studies the work of CAP in three of Chicago’s Italian immigrant communities: the Near North Side, the Near West Side, and the Near Northwest Side during the early 1900s. This article argues that the work of CAP prevented many young people from pursuing a life of organised adult crime and that research conducted in these communities has provided information crucial to our understanding of crime and delinquency including support for both social disorganisation and differential social organisation theory. The data for this research comes from published sources, newspaper accounts, and the CAP archives located in the special collections libraries of the University of Illinois, Chicago and the Chicago History Museum. The findings indicate that much of what we know about combating delinquency areas and the cultural transmission of delinquent values is based upon research conducted in Chicago’s Italian neighbourhoods, yet there is no mention of the Italian community’s efforts to fight juvenile delinquency in the scholarly literature, nor is there a recognition that the presence of adult criminality was a necessary element in Clifford Shaw’s original characterisation of social disorganisation theory.

  • A Genealogy of Gangs in Chicago
    A Genealogy of Gangs in Chicago Bringing the State back into Gang Research Global Gangs: A Comparative Perspective University of Minnesota Press Forthcoming Originally presented at the Global Gangs Conference, Geneva, Switzerland, May 2009 John M. Hagedorn University of Illinois-Chicago Reading over the chapters in this volume is like taking a journey not only through the world of gangs, but also the different ways we understand them. It was my main purpose in writing A World of Gangs to challenge the existing criminological paradigm for understanding gangs and suggest that we need to think about gangs differently. This book makes solid contributions toward that goal. Over more than decade of studying Chicago gangs, I’ve found the classic ecological lens to be too narrow and often leads us away from making a substantive critique of political and institutional arrangements. Rather than a nose-to-the-playground focus on the processes that teenagers go through to form and maintain a gang, this essay argues for a much broader historical and political stance. In Chicago, I’ve found that one key to understanding the persistence or institutionalized character of gangs are long-standing practices of police abuse, racism, and corrupt machine politics. I’ve found it helpful to replace the ecological frame with a concept from the study of the mafia, Salvatore Lupo’s notion of “polygenesis” (2009, 26). Lupo argues that the Sicilian mafia cannot be understood without grasping the multiple threads of structure and agency, particularly rampant state corruption. This essay applies Lupo’s approach to examine the history of gangs in Chicago.

  • Travel to Chicago
    Sweet Home Chicago A Front Porch Travelogue Page 1 Introduction For those not familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, let me take a moment to introduce you. They are six senior citizens who have become very real over the past many years that they’ve been presenting the travelogue for Activity Connection. Couples Nell and Truman McGiver and Bert and Ethel Davis join sisters Mabel and Maude Gunderson in their virtual adventures around the world. Click here to learn more about the Front Porch Travelers. Page 2 The Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood, might have said it best in their song “Sweet Home Chicago” from the movie The Blues Brothers. They sang, “Baby, don’t you wanna go back to that same old place—sweet home Chicago,” and this month, the Front Porch Travelers are doing just that. Chicago is near and dear to Bert’s heart because that is where his grandparents lived during the 1940s. Page 3 Truman Loves History The city of Chicago is located in the area of the United States known as the Midwest. It is located in Illinois, which joins the states of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in what is also called the Heartland of America. Page 4 The first record of the name “Chicago” dates back to 1688 and was derived from the Algonquian word Chigagou, meaning onion field or wild garlic. The city’s first permanent settler was Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, a trapper and merchant originally from Haiti. In 1779, he built the trading post that evolved into what we now know as Chicago.
