Mob Crimes
Mob crimes, or those crimes committed by factions labeled as organized crime, can vary by type and severity. Mob crimes are defined as illegal acts that are committed by an organized faction and used to promote and/or advance the operations of that organized faction. Mob crimes can take the form of:
- Bribery of figures of authority, such as police officers or judges
- Theft of goods that can be sold to others for profit
- Production of illicit drugs and drug trafficking
- Illegal acquisition and distribution of firearms or other weapons
- Acts of violence up-to and including murder
Mob crimes involve a number of California Penal Code violations, and bring with them a number of varying degrees of punishment.
Organized crime has been occurring in our society for over a century, and the influence that organized crime factions have is often quite engulfing. Consequently, mob crimes are often complicated, particularly since the chain of command amongst organized crime groups can leave higher ranking officials relatively free of prosecution while lower ranking members carry out the crimes and absorb the brunt of the punishment. Charges can range from simple fines to lifetime imprisonment, and it is of the utmost importance that those who are charged with mob crimes are given every opportunity made available to them by the law to profess their innocence.
For those who are accused of mob crimes, the stigma of being associated with organized crime can sometimes be enough to seriously impair one’s reputation, and can ultimately lead to a diminished way of life. That is, in having associations with organized crime, a person may experience a lack of work opportunity, constant harassment by police, awkward living conditions amongst neighbors, and even strained relationships with family members.
