Use of RICO to prosecute Organized Crime
Examples include United States v. Barger, the
Winter Hill Gang, the Gambino family, the Chicago Outfit, and the Latin Kings.
1) How was RICO used to prosecute the
crime group? Why was RICO used?
2) Was the
crime group convicted? Why or why not?
3) Evaluate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of RICO prosecution for the case.
4) Could responses other than RICO have been used to prosecute?
