The biggest blow to organized crime in the US's 20th century was the repeal of prohibition.
The biggest blow to the militarization of the domestic police...
...and the greatest help to the inner cities of the U.S...
and the biggest impact on gang warfare...and the biggest benefit to social stability... would be legalization. An end to the insane, counterproductive "war on (people who choose to use) drugs."
Prohibition didn't work in the '30s. It still doesn't work in the '10s. At least in the '30s we had the guts to turn it around.
