		A lack of official records and the fact that most gangs took their dead away to be buried in "gang plots", means that establishing even a ballpark figure on casualties proves extremely difficult but a yearly estimate in the low thousands would not be inconceivable.
		Outgunned, demoralized and, in many cases, on the payroll of the gangs, the police force were unable to stem the spiraling murder rates and had to turn a blind eye to much of the gang's activities until Mayor Robert Morris began overhauling the department in an effort to halt the city's march to the abyss.
		Even the largest gangs saw their ranks thinned by faction fighting that split the larger group into smaller less organized units whose power was extremely limited and in less than a generation gangs such as the Plug Uglies and Dead Rabbits were definitively consigned to the history books.

	Introduction to the Mafia
		Gangs in one area may be asked to carry out a killing for a gang from another area, and it has the right and duty to carry out such a killing.
		In 1931 the gangs organized a national crime syndicate on a permanent and efficient basis, largely through the handiwork of Lucky Luciano and Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky.
		Previously the country was plagued by the great criminal gangs of disorganized crime, criminal groups that found allies and protectors among the aspiring gangs, the politicians overlooked their minor peccadilloes of bashing open a few heads among the honest citizenry now and then, of looting the waterfront and banks, of fielding armies of prostitutes.

	Monk Eastman & Ron Arons' "Jews of Sing Sing" Lecture
		Eastman's nickname "Monk" was short for "Monkey." The moniker was given to him becasuse of his appearance -- nose, ears, and other features smashed, mangled and scarred from blows and cuts suffered and survived.

		The proximate causes leading to Eastman being sentenced in early 1904 to serve 10 years in Sing Sing have been various described: his attempting a robbery that went badly, his roughing up the son of a promineent New Yorker, his firing shots at Pinkertons.

	Mara Bovsum: Monk Eastman - Gangster, Doughboy, Hero
		The Eastman gang had turned the area between the Bowery and 14th St. into a no man's land, pocked by brawls with such rivals as the Yakey Yakes, the Red Onions and Paul Kelly's fearsome Five Pointers.
		These gangs grew out of the dirt-poor Jewish, Italian and Irish immigrants who flooded into New York in the late 19th century, for whom a life of crime was often the only alternative to starvation.
		These talents were noticed by Tammany Hall, and soon Monk and his gang of Jewish toughs were Election Day fixtures, voting for their candidates two, three, four or more times and suggesting to other voters that perhaps it would be healthy for them to vote the same way.

		Escondido police said Monday they are considering adding more individuals to the injunctions, which currently list 42 alleged members of the Diablos and Westside gangs and restrict their conduct and appearance in what is considered the heart of each gang's territory.
		Police officials said they are also considering extending the geographical reach of the injunctions because gang members have shifted criminal activity to new areas and newer members have risen in prominence since the injunctions were obtained in 2001.
		In updating the injunctions, police would not have to re-prove that a given gang exists, but would have to show that individuals added to the injunction have a history of criminal activity in a specified area, she said.
