Modern Gangsters and the Patriot Act 1

From El Rukns in the 1980s to Jose Padilla in 2002, gangs, and hence organized crime, have been at least tangentially associated with terrorism and/or terrorist groups. In the post 9/11 era, with radical Islam attempting to influence various governments, will gangs continue to furnish the ‘workers’ for terrorist groups? Will the Patriot Act be used to go after gangs and gangsters based on their criminal behavior? What are the implications of using the Patriot Act in this manner? This paper will look into the inter‐relationships between gangs, terrorists, and the Patriot Act in the fight against both terrorism and organized crime.
