It makes the person feel powerful, or a big shot. It also makes them feel important in their gang. These people enjoy being looked upon as a leader or a very important person. Usually they lack a satisfying home life and look to gangs as a way to become a boss.
What is the relationship between prohibition and organized crime?
Prohibition began with the passage of the 18th Amendment in 1919 (Of course it could be argued that it began a few years earlier as individual states began passing anti-saloon laws). The amendment passed as a result of the efforts of members of the Temperance Movement who believed that society's evils were the result of alcohol consumption. Supporters of the Temperance Movement believed that the men of early 20th Century were neglecting their families by spending all of their money on alcohol instead of important things like food. Supporters also believed that drunkenness was a major source of crime. Most supporters were women (especially women who also fought for suffrage), churches and factory owners (who supported the movement in hopes that less men would come to work intoxicated and hinder production in the factory).
The passage of the 18th Amendment proved to be a mistake. Instead of reducing crime the ban on alcohol actually increased crime and created a more ominous form of it-organized crime. The mob was created and the American gangster was born. Gangsters like Al Capone made a fortune as bootleggers in which they transported and distributed illegal alcoholic beverages much like drug dealers do today. Not only did they supply the local speakeasy with boozes, but they also used excessive "pressure" and force to make sure the their customers remained their customers and customers of other bootleggers became their customers. This ended badly for many saloon owners who were torn between two competing mobs that did not care for his personal safety.
Prohibition ended in 1933 with the passage of the 21st Amendment which repealed the 18th Amendment. It received great support due to the state of depression of the U.S. at the time. Organized crime, however, did not end. Prohibition began in order to make the U.S. a safer, better place. It failed miserably, but gave birth to a new problem before its demise-the mob in which still functions even today; can you believe that?

How many Piru gang sets are there?
No, 152 Piru is NOT a Piru set.
There's already a Piru set in Compton, called the 151 Original Block Pirus, so it wouldn't make sense for a Piru set to be named the ''152 Piru''.
What is the definition of the structure of a organized crime?
Organized crime means ongoing conspiratorial enterprise engaged in illicit activities as a means of generating income (as black money).
It is structured like a business into a pyramid shaped hierarchy, it freely employs violence and bribery to maintain its operations, threats of grievous retribution (including murder) to maintain internal and external control, and thuggery and contribution to election campaigns to buy political patronage for immunity from exposure and prosecution.

What powers does a mafia boss have?
A Mafia boss could order his henchmen around or even to a suicide mission. The Mafia is involved in selling drugs, prostitution, and lots of other illegal business. He could bribe the police (corrupt police) or sometimes he just disguises the business and claims it's some orphanage for sexy girls in skimpy suits, or anything he wants. For reference watch the whole series of "The Godfather" or "Scarface". I know this because one of my friends is in an illegal gang. Hope this helps.
The Mafia does not operate under a written constitution. A Mafia boss can issue any orders that he wishes, for any reason, and the members of his particular crime family will consider themselves obligated to comply with those orders. Of course, if there is a serious objection to those orders, someone may attempt an assassination. The Mafia routinely kills people as part of their assorted criminal enterprises, therefore, murder is an accepted part of their way of life, and it is perfectly logical that they periodically murder each other as well. In effect, the only law of the Mafia is that might makes right.
