Preferred term

Italian Mafia

The Italian Mafia has been regarded as the prototype of organized crime in the United States since the days of Prohibition. In its native country, however, there has never been such a consensus, and many different phenomena have been labeled as a “mafia” ever since the term became popular immediately following Italy's unification in 1861.
