Examining family crime dynasties where multiple generations engaged in criminal enterprise—from mafia bloodlines to families of serial killers. Explores whether criminality is inherited, learned, or a toxic combination, featuring geneticists, family therapists, and relatives who broke the cycle.
This episode delves into the complex world of multigenerational organized crime families, exploring how criminal enterprises are passed down and sustained over time. Listeners will learn about the inner workings of notorious mafia clans, such as the Genovese and Gambino families, and how they maintained power and influence through strategic alliances, violence, and the exploitation of family ties. The episode also examines the role of omertà (the code of silence) in preserving these criminal dynasties, as well as the unique challenges faced by law enforcement in dismantling such deeply entrenched criminal networks. Interviews with former organized crime members, law enforcement officials, and experts on organized crime provide a nuanced understanding of the complex social, psychological, and cultural factors that enable these family-based criminal enterprises to thrive.
