Better yet. You've had a string of Murders that are directly attributed to the Sicilian Mob. Do you check out women, black people, irish, asians or look for Goombas toughs?
Problem is, we're not dealing with a specific ethnic group here - the mafia might be Italian and go back generations, but the current problems are more widespread. It's the religion, not the ethnicity or nationality, that's the common thread. And that's much harder to spot.
You could focus on people or arabic or Indian/Pakistani descent, sure. You'd accidentally catch a few Hindus, Christians and Sikhs in the net, but you'd get your increased checks on those who fitted into that group. Would it work, though? Would it actually deliver any benefits?
