In many ways, increased violence indicates less organized crime or less organization, and more disorganized crime or fighting among different groups, as happened in Vancouver last year. The Hells Angels didn't particularly want violence, as violent as they are; it was only because the Rock Machine came in and started taking on their territory that they got very macho about it and started killing each other. This happens on the street level. Right now in Montreal we're talking about a street gang taking on the Mafia.
