Not only that, but I’m sure most of the crimes committed were against others in the mob.
I used to think that way but I've found there are many documented instances of outright innocent people being harmed or killed by the mob. The whole protection racket thing is a rough deal and those folks are innocent. Imagine owning a restaurant or business in someone's territory and you have to start paying protection or tribute, or employ someone's lazy nephew.
This was once very common and bad news.

That poor bastard that lived in Gotti’s neighborhood and accidentally and reportedly without fault hit and killed Gotti’s son with his car, and subsequently disappeared. Don’t think they ever found that guy.
