criminological explanation of tax evasion

After a long run as the crime kingpin of Chicago's underworld, Al Capone finally landed in jail on October 17, 1931. Capone was ultimately sent away for tax evasion, a relatively minor offense for a man who oversaw an elaborate liquor bootlegging network, extensive prostitution rings, and various gambling operations. For many years, crime did pay for Capone. By 1927, he had hauled in an impressive--and tax-free--fortune worth over $100 million. Of course, with his penchant for maiming and killing the competition, Capone was just a bit more dangerous than the average entrepreneur. However, usual strong-arm tactics couldn't help him bully past the IRS. Capone was sentenced to an eleven-year prison term and was forced to pay $80,000 in fines and court fees.

Chicago gangland chief Al Capone, alias "Scarface," rose from a two-bit bootlegger to the undisputed war lord of Chicago gangsters. Famous for the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and other gang war blood baths, Capone managed to slip free of such charges in court. But on October 19, 1931, a federal judge finally sentenced him to 11 years for tax evasion. This video courtesy of THE HISTORY CHANNEL.
