		Mafia power peaked in the United States in the mid-20th century, until a series of FBI investigations in the 1970s and 1980s somewhat curtailed the Mafia's influence.
		The Mafia began a steep decline in the late-1970s and early 1980s due in part to laws such as the RICO Act, which made it a crime to belong to an organization that performed illegal acts, and to programs such as the witness protection program.
		Today the Mafia is still the dominant organized crime group in the United States but its power and influence continues to decline due to aggressive FBI investigations, mob informants, violation of mob rules, family infighting, dwindling membership, and death or imprisonment of its top leaders.
