xoB, I believe that if you look at per-capita murder figures over the years, you could see peaks during alcohol prohibition and then again during the first wave of the "war on drugs".

As the government tried to crack down on prohibited substances that the people were going to use anyway, it just led to more upset and violence trying to run that business below the law.

The first prohibition led to "gangsters", the second, "gangstas".

IMO of course
