using your own example of the mobs during prohibition, it led to the creation of a whole new federal arm of law enforcement, the fbi, currently employs 35,000 people on your dime, and the RICO statutes which strengthen the powers of law enforcement agencies and the office of the prosecutor. it sure took a lot of new government and a lot of new government power to solve a problem that new government created.
