Organized crime participants are master manipulators and can easily instill fear in the citizens within the area. This fear is often times enough to keep innocent people quiet when being questioned by law enforcement. This practice has helped organized crime not only survive but evolve within the United States. In addition, when the criminal group has the assistance of local law enforcement and judicial officials, it becomes common for a criminal case to end in a dismissal. In conclusion, it can be said that crime and politics have existed in America for decades, Money, and power are both present in crime and politics.
The movies, literature, and news all have a stake in the phenomenon of serial homicide. Serial homicide gives society the perfect social problem. So there is no need to “candycoat” the issue or make it more palatable in order to sell the issue. In all of these articles, panic/anxiety, strong emotional imagery, case studies and the creation of exaggerated statistics all had a crucial role in framing the “moral panic” issue. Although, “moral panics” often take the form of persecutions of particular groups it is also sometimes can be a positive thing.

Martha felt the government was out to get her, because she was a successful woman in a business world of men. Martha was fairly and appropriately targeted because of her celebrity. Maintaining ethical and legal norms is one of the jobs of the government, and the prosecution of prominent people makes a much greater impact on everyone else than the anonymous prosecution of an average citizen.

Jerrod Coulter Ap Gov Pd.8 PAC’S are groups of people or companies who are likeminded forming political committees to fund certain political purposes. These PAC’s are perfectly legal however they are undermining our government by swaying political leaders to lean towards protecting their interest in return for more money.

Politicians listened to society and executed a law that would put an end to

While these activities seem semi-legit, the deeper problem was that these political machines would often break their own rules and laws to suit their own needs. They allowed illegal gambling and prostitution were the profits would line the pockets of city officials along with public tax money and bribes. The most notorious political boss of the era was William “Boss” Tweed of New York’s Tammany Hall. Many different types of people were affected by industrialization, some in good ways and some in bad.
