Gangsters Gangsters and organized crimes, particularly in the USA resulted in the 18th Amendment in 1919. Bootlegging activities and speakeasies where alcohol could be purchased gave rise to rivalry that resulted in hired gangs of criminals and gun battles. The law was difficult to enforce and illegal liquor could be brought into the USA over the long land borders or coastlines and illegal distilleries were soon established. Bonnie and Clyde were American criminals during the great depression of the 1930’s. They were born in Texas, and they began committing petty thefts in Houston at the age of 15. They met in January 1930 and they were first linked in crime in a car theft in December 1932. They worked their way across the southwestern of United States for two years. They held up petrol stations, restaurants and banks. They killed 12 people, mostly law enforcement officials. Clyde earned the tittle “ public enemy number one of the South-West,” because of his ruthlessness.
