In taking on the gangsters and the mafia, the thing is to divide the 'kingpins' from the kids. Divide & conquer.

I don't know what the exact best way to re-habilitate gangster youth is, in the early stages of a new socialist society; but rehabilitation -- socialist rehabilitation -- is the key, and the path to take with the lower-level gang members. These are broken products of the capitalist system who must be saved -- and can be saved. Break them off from the professional mafia types.
