The point is that gansterism will become a smaller part of the economy, have "less funding" if you want to think of it that way.

Gangsterism is funded by various econmic oppornities which for one reason or another are illegal. Some things like assasination and extortion need to be illegal by their very nature.

But by passing laws that make new things illegal, we increase the amount of resources available to fund criminalality.
