The Five Families and How Organized Crime Became Organized

from Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography, & More · host Gary Arndt

Organized crime wasn’t always so organized.  In the early 20th century, in New York, what we would call the mafia was rather unorganized. There were competing groups, and while the individual groups had an organization, there was anarchy among them.  There was a war between some of the crime organizations, and when the dust settled, all of the major mafia groups in New York City had found a way to work together, or at least not openly feud.  Learn more about New York’s Five Families and the creation of the commission on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
