Imagine your OTP

picture them finding a cave and Person A is like “I wonder how long the echo will go on for.” Then they take in a deep breath before yelling “SUCC.” Into the cave and Person B just gives them a look of “really?” as “succ” echoes on in the background and Person A is cackling.

Related to your mob-question, do you have any resources on modern gangs or street crime? I know mobs are still relevant today, but I'm sure a lot has changed since the 1950s.

Most of the Russian-mob (Bratva) and Yakuza information carries on into the modern day because they are still prominent in contemporary politics. American mobs have been in decline because of younger, more savvy organizations taking over the crimes, and of course, RICO.

Most of these resources will be American-based for the same reasons I have mentioned before. It will also be more difficult to find strong, nonpartisan sources because we do not have a history gap to help society be subjective. Furthermore, I’d like to apologize in advance for the click bait-y titles and abstracts. 

The most interesting sources will be in bold.
