That's actually a good question. I'll do some checking.
By the way, at the end of the video it suggested reading this...

CHICAGO — There are many theories about what has caused a recent spike in Chicago's homicide rate, including a splintering of established drug gangs, the warm winter and high unemployment in some neighborhoods that seem a world away from the city's beaches, lush parks and skyscrapers.
The numbers clearly show there is a problem, with eight killed and at least 35 wounded in a spasm of gunfire last weekend.
The violence is nowhere near its historical peak of the early 1990s, when Chicago recorded roughly 900 homicides per year. But from Jan. 1 through late May there were 203 homicides, an increase of more than 50 percent over the 134 during the same period in 2011.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel has made combating gangs a priority and has stood with Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy to unveil a plan of attack. Among the new police tactics is the deployment of dozens of specialized undercover officers to units on Chicago's West and South sides and then saturating those neighborhood streets with uniformed officers.
In addition, Gov. Pat Quinn on Monday signed into law the Illinois Street Gang RICO Act, which aims to dismantle gangs by boosting penalties for crimes performed as part of a criminal enterprise.
In Englewood, a roughly 20-by-20-block South Side neighborhood, homicides jumped from 40 in 2010 to 60 last year, which is more than half of the total 2011 homicides for cities such as Cleveland, Milwaukee, Washington, D.C., Oakland, Calif., and Kansas City, Mo.
Though police are loath to attribute this winter's unusually warm weather as a possible factor, because it smacks of excuse-making, there were far more people on the streets in January, February and March — including gang members — than during those months in 2011.

I literally just watched this last night. These are real "gangsters".
This one is good too. The movie, "Casino" is based off the Chicago mob.
New York has the 5 families. Chicago has 1. It's called The Chicago Outfit, also known as the Chicago Syndicate, Chicago Mafia, Chicago Mob, or simply the Outfit.
The current boss of the Chicago Outfit is John “No Nose” Difronzo.
After the 1990's, the Chicago mob has been VERY low key. Still very much in operation, but not making any headlines. Being smart you might say. They don't want the spotlight anyways.

John DiFronzo, the reputed head of the Chicago Outfit, gained his unusual nickname after slicing off part of his nose while jumping through a window during a robbery. After his nose was re-cast, he was more likely to be called Johnny Bananas (to his face, at least). After the Five Families, the Chicago Outfit is thought to be the largest and most powerful mob in America. Despite having been arrested more than twenty times, DiFronzo avoided being indicted in the trial of top Chicago mob leaders in relation to 18 unsolved murders. He has been out of jail since 1994.
