Definition
- New York City was the place of origin for organized crime in the United States in the early 1900s; now, Mob-like gangs can be found in major cities across the country. The early Mob's image was “high class,” wearing tailored double-breasted suits and exuding confidence. [Source: Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime; New Style Gangsters]
