3-1 The Foundations of the Gangster Organization: Secret Association, the Inside-Outside Distinction, Deceiving the Outside World, and the Supremacy of Organizational Interest

SECTION FOCUS
This section examines the secrecy and duplicity of the gangster organization. Inwardly it stresses secrecy, discipline, and the vetting of identity, while outwardly it may deploy different promises, identities, and rhetoric; members are cut off from information, knowing only a part while obeying the whole, and the interest of the organization is placed above the nation, the people, the law, and public accountability. 3-1-1
