How did prohibition help increase the presence of organized crime in America?

There was a steady demand for liquor so there was incentive to set up the organization needed to import or produce liquor, distribute it and offer it for sale.
The fact that is was illegal led to higher prices and greater profits. It is also led to corruption of law enforcement officers. Once an officer was on the take, he could not enforce any laws so others criminal activities flourished along with the illegal liquor sales.

∙ 11y agoWhen Alcoholic Beverages were prohibited in 1020, this created a new market for organized crime. If people can buy what they want legally, they do not need to buy from criminals, but when products that people want are made illegal, then people will buy those products from criminals.

What were results of prohibition?
Prohibition was not only a failure but caused serious and widespread social problems. In many ways, prohibition helped create organized crime, because only well-planned and led operations could distill liquor, bribe officials, deliver to restaurants and bars, and protect against others taking away the profits. Prohibition helped break down America's firm adherence to law and order. Prohibition caused millions of people to routinely break the law. This had long-lasting social implications, including increased contempt for government.
