It’s not just that though. Yes plenty of street gang activity crosses over into what what be considered organized crime today, but the original purpose of most street gangs wasn’t to do white collar crimes. If you join LCN, then you’re basically signing up to be a career criminal, and that’s how you make a living. When you join a street gang, you’re usually a teenager and you can end up being a career criminal if you choose to, or you may straighten out in a few years, start a family and work a regular job. Gangs are more like tribes and it’s not all about making money through illegal activity and trying to control unions and running scams. Yes, some of that exists in the gang world especially for those that choose to take that path. But it isn’t the core mission for everyone involved.
