From the Paper:

"The ability of a civilized society to adequately police itself is of utmost importance to its continued peace and general prosperity. Without an element of order and control, a thriving, industrious nation can quickly reduce to chaotic anarchy. Though the great majority of a population may consist of a well-to-do group of upstanding citizens, there will always be a number of those to whom natural ethics and the Golden Rule simply do not apply. Moreover, although they may not be uncultured thugs, they merely turn organization into organized crime. Such was the case in early twentieth century America, where the advent of prohibition gave rise to the prolific gangster era. Rife with all sorts of unsavory characters and maligned misdeeds, the 20's and 30's were the very stuff of corruption and criminal malpractice."
