TOW (& Answer)...

The week’s question was what was Murder, Incorporated?  Murder, Incorporated was a group formed from tough Jewish kids from the streets of Brooklyn in the 1930’s.  “These were men who readily killed with gun, knife, or whatever was handy in order to make a crooked buck.”  It was estimated that the group was responsible for 400 to 500 murders nationwide.

The question (& answer) were taken from p. 235 of The Historical Atlas of American Crime by Fred Rosen.  The book was published in 2005 by Facts on File.
