There are thousands of organizations that do just that. It doesn't do any good. And in case you've been living in a bubble for the past 30 years, law enforcement hasn't been able to stop it. And if you're one of these people who thinks that it's because law enforcement isn't allowed to get tough enough with them, just look at Mexico where law enforcement is outright militarized, with special forces that do not take prisoners and shoot on site when raiding cartels. Gangs are only going to stop themselves.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
