[[Image:Mugshot Benjamin Siegel.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Mugshot of [[Bugsy Siegel]]]] A '''gangster''', '''[[mobster]]''', or '''gangsta''' is a criminal who is a member of a [[organized crime|criminal organization]], such as a [[gang]]. The terms are widely used in reference to members of gangs associated with [[American prohibition]] and the American offshoot of the [[Mafia]], such as the Chicago Outfit or the Five Families. A gang is a group of people who, through the organization, formation, and establishment of an assemblage, share a common identity. In early usage, the word gang referred to a group of workmen. In the United Kingdom the word is still often used in this sense. {{stub}} [[Category:Occupations]] [[Category:Criminals| ]]
