Abstract:Zaključno delo zajema obsežno analizo elektronskih ter pisnih virov in literature, ki kronološko obravnavajo razvoj organizirane kriminalitete v mestu Boston, prestolnici zvezne države Massachusetts. Poseben poudarek je namenjen obdobju migracijskih tokov med leti 1820 in 1921 ter oblikovanju etničnih sosesk, ki sta pomembno vplivala na nastanek in razvoj organiziranega kriminala v mestu. Začetki organiziranega kriminala v mestu Boston glede na analizo pregledane literature segajo v pozno 18. stoletje, ko so se v večjih ameriških mestih začele oblikovati prve manjše kriminalne skupine. Na njen nastanek so vplivali predvsem številni družbeni, ekonomski, politični in kulturni dejavniki, ki so do obdobja prohibicije prispevali k postopni institucionalizaciji in integraciji v širše družbene strukture. V urbanem okolju prestolnice so v prvi polovici 20. stoletja kriminalno podzemlje zaznamovale predvsem judovske, irske in italijanske kriminalne skupine, medtem ko se v sedemdesetih letih pojavi tudi večje število afroameriških, latinoameriških in azijskih kriminalnih združb. Ob tem se skozi različna zgodovinska obdobja spreminja in razvija tudi delovanje organov pregona in državnih oblasti, ki se v spopadu z organiziranim kriminalom soočajo s številnimi izzivi, vključno s primeri korupcije in podkupovanja. Njihovo delovanje se izrazito okrepi po porastu trgovine z narkotiki v drugi polovici 20. stoletja.

Title:A historical overview of organized crime in the New England capital
Abstract:The thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of electronic and written sources and literature that chronologically examine the development of organized crime in the city of Boston, the capital of the state of Massachusetts. Particular emphasis is placed on the period of migration flows between 1820 and 1921 and the formation of ethnic neighborhoods, both of which significantly influenced the emergence and development of organized crime in the city. Based on the analysis of the reviewed literature, the origins of organized crime in Boston can be traced back to the late eighteenth century, when the first small criminal groups began to form in major American cities. Its development was shaped by various social, economic, political, and cultural factors, which by the period of Prohibition contributed to its gradual institutionalization and integration into wider social structures. In the urban environment of Boston, the criminal underworld in the first half of the twentieth century was predominantly characterized by Jewish, Irish and Italian criminal groups, while from the 1970s onwards an increasing number of African American, Latino, and Asian criminal organizations also emerged. At the same time, the functioning of law enforcement agencies and state authorities evolved across different historical periods, as they faced numerous challenges in combating organized crime, including instances of corruption and bribery. Their activities intensified significantly following the rise of narcotics trade in the second half of the twentieth century.
Keywords:Boston, organized crime, Italian mafia, Irish-American organized crime, migration.
