Mastaans and the Police

Many scholars argue that for mafias to be successful, they must build and maintain a close relationship with the police (e.g. McIntosh 1975; Gambetta 1993). Criminals are offered immunity because of what they can offer the state. This may be in the form of force or money (McIntosh 1975). McIntosh (1975, p. 52) argues that organised crime is most successful when:...criminals have managed over time, to build up relationships of corruption with agents of justice and law enforcement and with the officials and politicians who control them. Once this is being done on a regular basis, the criminals are said to be ‘protected’. They, together with any they care to protect, can carry on a variety of illegal operations with impunity.
