The personnel of organized crime is recruited among juvenile delinquents and ex-convicts. The main areas of activity of organized crime are gambling, narcotics, prostitution, and illegal liquor production. Organized criminals have also succeeded in infiltrating certain labor unions and businesses which they attempt to dominate by force. In order to facilitate its operations, organized crime bribes, corrupts, and intimidates law-enforcement officials, legislators, and judges. It also attempts to elect its creatures to public office. The income derived by organized crime from gambling, drinking, and the like could be reduced by legalizing some of these activities and allowing legitimate businessmen to compete for this trade. Law-enforcement authorities could then concentrate more on combating organized crime in the labor or management fields. In the final analysis, personal morality can not be legislated or enforced by the authorities. The laws and moral standards of a society are as good as the people who make them. If these laws and standards are constantly violated by millions of Americans and if criminals are able to exploit the demand for immoral and illegal products and to rise to prominence and power in various areas of the country, then the very basis of the society is in danger, because the values people profess no longer command their respect or" @default.
