Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters	comment	It's not enough for it to just feel good to be a gangster, you should also win the sympathy of the audience and community. Since racketeering, trafficking women, random murders and selling drugs don't really fly with the general public, heroic criminals in fiction are usually Neighbourhood Friendly Gangsters. There is truth to this, particularly in the birthplace of The Mafia, Sicily. Eventually, the locals of that harried island got tired of being invaded every other week and banded together with the local gangsters. The same goes for Harlem during the Civil Rights Struggle, which saw its share of unfair treatment by police. The Japanese Yakuza tend to be more civilized to their neighbors as well since they tend to operate more openly than Western counterparts and like to preach how they provide "services" to the community (who, in return, owe them money and respect). This trope is usually set against more villainous politicians or outsiders. They may distribute food during the holidays or fund the building of health clinics or schools. Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters almost always have standards; refusing to deal hard drugs is a common one. This may include a noble (if warped) sense of family values. May overlap with Anti-Hero Team if they're the heroes of the story. This trope has some elements of Truth in Television: crime syndicates that wish to survive in a community try to have good public relations, after the philosophy "don't shit where you eat". Many criminal organizations (including the Japanese yakuza, Sicilian Mafia, the Chinese triad societies, and most American street gangs) also have their roots in community self-defense efforts, although they share a strong tendency to degenerate into more euphemistic forms of "protection", among other abuses. Moreover, having an organised crime outfit in your neighborhood tends to help cut down on disorganized crime — the common criminals who might otherwise commit crimes in that neighborhood (armed robbers and muggers) are too afraid of committing a crime against the wrong person, and paying for it, pissing off people who have every reason to keep the neighborhood off the police radar, or simply being made an example of by people who know that unaffiliated common criminals getting away with causing trouble in their territory is a bad look, and don't want to give anyone any ideas. Compare Even Evil Has Standards, Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!, Gentleman Thief, Loveable Rogue, The Family for the Whole Family, and Honor Among Thieves. Contrast Ruthless Foreign Gangsters and Totalitarian Gangsterism.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_10d303a2	comment	In Shin Megami Tensei IV, the Ashura-kai are a group of yakuza-like heavily-armed thugs who keep the populace of Tokyo safe by feeding the demons "red pills", which appear to be the more humane alternative to demons munching on humans. Subverted, in that the red pills are made with neurotransmitters forcibly extracted from human brains, and they even kidnap children in order to keep the supply going.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_133a3787	comment	Kyō Kara Ore Wa!!: Mitsuhashi and Itou are neighborhood-friendly punks: they rose as the strongest delinquent students of Chiba as an unintended consequence of deciding to reinvent their image in a cooler way upon moving there (Mitsuhashi is the blond◊) and being stronger than anyone who tried to beat them up for it, with Itou being a genuinely good person and Mitsuhashi being incredibly greedy and selfish but willing to help his friends and protect his school from worse delinquents and never did anything worse than getting his worst enemies hospitalized or some vandalism. The series offers a few other examples: the gang at Itou and Mitsuhashi's school isn't too bad (partly out of admiration for Itou, partly out of fear of what Mitsuhashi would do them if they inconvenienced him. Plus Riko is a nice girl who happens to be in love with Mitsuhashi), Imai is the boss of his school but never committed a criminal act aside for assaulting Mitsuhashi (who pretty much deserves it) and, with his best friend Tanigawa, keeps the worst of his school at bay, Koyama started out as a Fat Bastard who moved at Imai's school but started admiring him and following his example after being defeated, Nakano likes fighting strong opponents and is quite a jerk but won't torment people just because (and in fact once sent to the hospital a dozen people because they were tormenting his neighbor, and joined the fight against Hokunei because Itou was angry at them, "Which means you must be real baddies. I shall punish you evildoers!"), Satoshi Katagiri is a friendly (if easily angered) fellow when he doesn't have reason to come after you in spite of a face that just screams "I'm a yakuza, give me protection money", Kagawa-san is a genuine yakuza but never gets in a fight without a reason, and a few actual yakuza are shown retiring and going straight for a number of reasons fully knowing that former criminals would have a hard time at working honestly (one of them even studying to become a teacher), even dragging a pickpocket into going straight with them.

When he made enough money, he bought a tropical island and started a casino: supposedly cutting his ties to organised crime. His casino is successful enough for him to sponsor one of the major races in the Aero-run. Rumours still circulate about possible mob ties, but he comes across more as a Lovable Rogue than anything else.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_1bf2b0de	comment	Golden Wind has Bucciarati's group within the Passione mafia, a group which carries the arc protagonist, Giorno, as its newest member. Unlike the rest of Passione (who are decidedly not neighborhood-friendly), Bucciarati's group is beloved by the general community, with even old people willingly going to them, a group of rogues with supernatural abilities and trouble surrounding them, for help. Bucciarati and Giorno only joined up with Passione in the first place to stop the mafia from dealing drugs to children, and their goal is to overthrow The Don of Passione and insert one of their own in his place. In fact, they outright openly rebel and gun for him when they learn the hard way that he is willing to kill his own daughter only because of the insane, paranoid idea that she could be a clue to his identity, even though she had neither met the man in her life nor knew anything about him. The personal targeting of an innocent and unrelated teenage girl was the last straw, though learning that the drugs were designed to be self-destructive, were made by a sub-branch of Passione, not to mention Stand-made'' didn't help.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_25abb662	comment	To combat the Templars and the Blighters gang who are under their control, Jacob and Evie Frye in Assassin's Creed Syndicate found their own gang the Rooks to take back the city of London bit by bit. Note that they are also technically working alongside the police of London; presumably Chief Inspector Abberline takes a "don't ask, don't tell" approach. Subverted in the Syndicate DLC, when someone significantly less neighborhood friendly takes over the Rooks, and they turn on Evie and Jacob without any signs of internal conflict. The Assassins were involved in organized crime before that game: In Assassin's Creed II Ezio works with the Venetian Thieves' Guild; in Unity Arno works with Marquis de Sade, the new King of Beggars. It's always treated as preferable to being under Templar control (except in Rogue, which is from a Templar's point of view).

A couple of them occasionally threaten Tatsu with weapons, but more often than not, they get carried away by his house-husband antics and don't become too much of a threat. Tatsu himself still gets along with his former boss and colleagues, and when they show up, they behave decently.

The sleepy suburb of Staines has two resident "gangs," who are really just middle-class kids who like to imitate gangsta rappers.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_2af4f467	comment	G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Averted at first, and then played straight in the episode "Cobra's Candidate". At the start of the episode, local street gangs in a (unnamed) city are threatening and intimidating voters (even going right up to their houses and knocking on the doors) in the run-up to the Mayoral election. The gangs are trying to sabotage the candidacy of Robert Harper, and even disrupt his campaign events and wreck a stage with him on it. With the local police unable to get a handle on things, the Joes are sent in by the President to make sure the city can elect a new Mayor without the gangs' interference. Then the Joes discover that Harper and the gangs are both pawns of Cobra. Harper has made an alliance with Cobra and promised to be their puppet Mayor once elected. The gangs are secretly being manipulated by Cobra's agents to disrupt Harper's campaign because Cobra knows this will only increase support and sympathy for Harper. After this, the Joes try to recruit the same gangs they initially were sent to fight to their side by revealing the conspiracy to them. The gangs ultimately turn on Cobra when they find out and when they nearly prevented one of their members from rescuing her little brother from a fire. While the episode makes it clear these were bad kids prior to Cobra's conspiracy, they do ultimately do the right thing and the ending seems to indicate that they've seen the error of their ways and will be a more positive force in their community.

They deal in the vice industry but don't force anyone to take their wares. They demand protection money but actually deliver on protecting the businesses. They carry out assassinations, but generally only on fellow power-players. If you're a common citizen who keeps his nose clean, you have virtually nothing to fear.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_38d6e212	comment	Mafia III: Lou Marcano runs a slew of restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in the French Ward of New Bordeaux, and to the public, he plays up an image as a Mafia-esque guy who's nonetheless a family-friendly Santa Claus figure. Olivia Marcano, meanwhile, is a socialite and a major fixture of New Bordeaux's high society, supporting a scholarship program with Remy Duvall, himself an example of this trope who puts on a Southern Gentleman image on his talk radio show. Make no mistake, though: they are just as ruthless and degenerate as any other leaders in the Marcano crime family. Lou runs drug dens and prostitution rings in the French Ward, Olivia pushes PCP to bored housewives in the suburbs, and Remy is the head of the Southern Union. In the ending where Lincoln and his associates choose to take over the city themselves, they take the Marcano family's place in this trope. Lincoln rebuilds the ghetto after a major hurricane, reopens the theme park, sponsors schools and hospitals, and supports local charities, but as Maguire points out, the money that he uses to do that comes from the criminal rackets he built his empire on. Father James flat-out ends his interview in anger rather than continue talking about Lincoln, the man and his crimes having become a major Berserk Button for him.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_41b0198a	comment	Marcone from The Dresden Files can fall into this trope as his syndicate helped Harry take down dangerous serial killers in book one and two, and the police for the most part don't bother him due to the fact that his brand of organized crime tends to keep crime non-violent and off the streets. He also keeps his competition in check (i.e. under his thumb or dead), Also, Marcone has standards; for instance, he won't tolerate violence against children, so his regime keeps certain types of heinous crime at a minimum. However, Marcone himself is insistent that whatever he does is done out of ruthless pragmatism, not love for his fellow man.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_43f52aa9	comment	The Thieves Guild in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion plays this trope straight. They're based in the waterfront (poor district) and refuse to steal from the poor as well as stealing their tax money back from the guard. In Morrowind as well. Gentleman Jim Stacey runs an orderly, profitable business and avoids bad PR. Members of the Guild do not kill, do not rob those who cannot afford to be robbed (no profit in stealing from the poor anyway), etc. The heroes of the Guild are Robin Hood-type figures, and later missions include things like saving a poor woman's home from a corrupt official by stealing his forged land deed, stealing a locket that a retired miner was forced to sell to pay his taxes and returning it to him, and stealing history books to give to a temple trying to help educate the community. Which is starkly contrasted by the opposing criminal organization, the Cammona Tong, a group of xenophobic murderers, drug pushers, slave dealers, and blackmailers. They're the only major civilian faction the player (as an "outlander") cannot join, and the only group other than the cult led by the Big Bad which is never portrayed in a positive light. The Skyrim branch of the Thieves Guild is mostly about stealing for the money and trophies; they don't condone murder during missions (you will get a penalty to your cut if you murder innocents), and most of the precious artifacts they do steal end up on a wall behind the guildmaster's desk for decorations and bragging rights. As for PR, Riften is run by the Black-Briar crime family to the point that Maven Black-Briar is ruler of Riften in all but name (and if you fight for the empire, she'll be officially crowned the Jarl), so all those good connections between the Thieves Guild and the Black-Briar family means that they're basically the town's mascots.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The Thieves Guild of Ankh-Morpork 'has standards' and arranges crime in mutually beneficial forms (as far as crime goes): rich people pay an annual premium, and arrange for a convenient date to rob an acceptable amount from these rich clients in their own home. The truly penniless are left alone because they have nothing worth stealing (and there's no sense treading on the toes of the Beggars' Guild.) Poor-but-solvent citizens are robbed in a fairly polite fashion on the streets, their business premises or homes, are not badly injured, and are given a receipt which guarantees they won't suffer another official robbery for the rest of the year. Criminals who don't keep to this arrangement, or who don't display their license when on business, are dealt with by the Watch if they're lucky... or by the Thieves' Guild if they're unlucky. Downplayed with the Troll criminal organisation "Breccia" - they're an extremely ruthless Mafia organization, but they exercise Pragmatic Villainy and don't want to rock the boat too much and destroy their own chances of getting rich(er). Their leader Chrysoprase is happy to assist the city Watch in order to further his own interests - he helps them uncover an illegal drug lab because the drug in question causes homicidal insanity and later death in trolls, and he prefers to keep his customers alive (and paying him regularly). Likewise, he seeks to help avert an upcoming war between trolls and dwarfs on the grounds that it's bad for business. Chrysoprase also has one of his own men executed for telling Vimes The Villain Knows Where You Live, and all but says as much to Vimes himself. It is stated in the later books that the Thieves Guild is slowly evolving into an insurance company note People with the economic possibility simply pay an unspecified sum to the Guild, receive a conformation slip, and, like with the receipt, this protects them from robberies. . Chrysoprase also claims to be moving into legitimate property and financial services more than his first business, drug smuggling, though he remains a major underworld figure, whereas the Head of the Thieves Guild is an important and respected citizen who, it is implied, could even be a candidate for Patrician.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_502cbd09	comment	Luke Cage (2016): The Stokes-Dillard gang has a reputation for Harlem throughout the ages. Mama Mabel Stokes was known for handing out school clothes and Thanksgiving turkeys, as well as protecting victims of domestic abuse. Cottonmouth runs Harlem's Paradise, which is a very popular nightclub in Harlem, and from which he runs a gun-trafficking operation. In season 2, Mariah Dillard seeks to endear herself to the press and the public, using money from the gun-running to fund her community projects throughout Harlem. Eventually, her old friend Piranha Jones gets her and Shades hooked up with a lucrative stock deal wherein they purchase large shares of Atreus Plastics stock as it gets acquired by Glenn Industries, intimidating the company CEO Mark Higgins into approving the merger. Things quickly fall apart though, as Bushmaster launches a Mob War on Mariah, killing several of her allies and burning down her brownstone. Mariah retaliates by massacring a restaurant owned by Bushmaster's family and burns Bushmaster's uncle alive. Her actions during the war quickly cost her any goodwill the public had been giving her, and burn bridges with both Shades and her own daughter Tilda, who poisons her in jail whilst awaiting trial. Bushmaster has a bit of this going on with the Jamaican community of Crown Heights, where his aunt Ingrid and uncle Anansi run a small restaurant named after Bushmaster's late mother Gwen.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_58a0b02a	comment	While most of the Yakuza in the Like a Dragon series are the bad kind of gangsters, the protagonist Kazuma Kiryu represents a lot of the qualities that real-life yakuza said they used to embody: "We kept the streets clean. People liked us. We didn't bother ordinary citizens. We respected our bosses." The Kazama Family, initially led by Kiryu's father figure, is definitely this: they help set up businesses and charities, protect businesses from thugs and other yakuza muscling in, and set up institutions which help rehabilitate former yakuza into normal civilian life. Goro Majima is initially introduced as an unhinged violence-prone yakuza, but as the series progresses (especially in Yakuza 0), his Hidden Depths come to the surface: he is a Friend to All Children, he possesses business acumen that not only saved a few failing businesses but helped him start his own legitimate construction company, and he possesses Undying Loyalty towards his friends, including Kiryu and his sworn brother Taiga Saejima. The Ryudo Family in Yakuza 3 are probably the best example. They are a small-time outfit in Okinawa, far from the high-stakes intrigue of Tokyo, and spend most of their time doing construction, dealing with petty crooks and keeping big chains from muscling out local shop-owners. This has earned them a lot of goodwill among the locals, who will cheerily greet the Ryudo family's soldiers when they are out on patrol. The Hirose Family from Yakuza 6 are spiritual successors to the Ryudo, being a third-string family of the Yomei Alliance in Hiroshima that largely doesn't do much besides look after a few small bars and anchor one of the local baseball teams. They're largely treated as a normal aspect of the community, or an amusing nuisance at worst. Subverted when the affable old Patriarch is revealed to be the favored assassin of the Yomei Chairman, and they are unwittingly a major cornerstone in a massive conspiracy that could undermine most of the political infrastructure in Japan. Ichiban Kasuga is a strong believer of this ideal to the point that he not only makes a point of returning money to others but will go through some loopholes to avoid actually shaking down people who are destitute. Unfortunately this only earns him the ire of his superior Jo Sawashiro, who is every bit as vicious as a Yakuza Captain should be and actively despises Ichiban for bringing no money to the clan. Thankfully for him, his patriarch, Masumi Arakawa (of the Arakawa Family, yet another overall tiny fish in the Tojo Clan's pool), shares some of his idealism. Judgment somewhat deconstructs this with the Matsugane Clan, whose patriarch's adherence to old school honor means that they're a third-tier family at best. This led to Clan Captain Kyohei Hamura to resort to vicious and underhanded means of gaining money such as getting involved in a government conspiracy and help organize assassinations, which allowed him to effectively usurp control of the gang due to having the money and power necessary to being a criminal.

Whereas the other families, particularly the ruthless Tataglias and Barzinis, are downright evil. The victims of the Corleone family are either rival gangsters or Asshole Victims, with the notable exception of a Disposable Sex Worker in the second film, by which point the Corleones have emphatically lost the moral high ground.

As for PR, Riften is run by the Black-Briar crime family to the point that Maven Black-Briar is ruler of Riften in all but name (and if you fight for the empire, she'll be officially crowned the Jarl), so all those good connections between the Thieves Guild and the Black-Briar family means that they're basically the town's mascots.

Mr. House provides power and security to the people on the Strip, but doesn't care about Freeside or the even-more-dilapidated Westside — the Kings are effectively both the government and the police in his stead. However, the game makes it clear that although the King himself is a genuinely good person who cares deeply about the members of his gang and the people of Freeside, there are some in the gang (especially his right-hand man Pacer) who are really just in it for power and the opportunity to feel important.

They're considered leading members of the community in spite of the fact that everyone knows that they're gunrunning criminals. However, it's frequently pointed out that the Sons really don't care about the community. Their actions are motivated only by the desire to have a safe base of operations to live their outlaw lifestyle. The growth of Charming has been stunted due to the fact that the Sons want to maintain their dominance over it.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_5ada53ed	comment	James Bond runs into helpful gangsters sometimes. On Her Majesty's Secret Service: In his mission to track down and stop Blofeld, Bond gets help from Marc-Ange Draco (Gabriele Ferzetti), leader of the crime syndicate Union Corse, as both have a common interest in taking Blofeld down due to the global threat that he is. And Bond falls in love with Draco's daughter Tracy, with Draco's blessing. For Your Eyes Only: Bond is initially played like a fiddle by KGB-backed Greek criminal Ari Kristatos, until the former partner of Kristatos, smuggler Milos Columbo (Chaim Topol), tells him what Kristatos is really up to. Then they team up against Kristatos. Columbo is also adamant about not smuggling drugs. The eponymous character from Octopussy (real name Octavia Charlotte Smythe), played by Maud Adams, is a wealthy smuggler of jewels based in India who also has legal ventures such as a circus. Her gang is an Amazon Brigade consisting of disenfranchised women she housed and trained. The film's Big Bad Duumvirate manipulates her to cause World War III via smuggling a nuclear bomb in her circus in West Germany, though Bond romances her and she eventually gets to see the true face of her previous associates and tries to stop them. The World Is Not Enough: Russian gangster Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), who initially held a grudge against Bond as seen in GoldenEye, ends up helping him against Renard and Elektra King.

Tommy gives a few examples when telling his story to the chief of police, such as their refusal to deal in drugs and that their version of a Protection Racket came with actual services instead of the usual "give us money or we'll torch your restaurant" shtick. Ultimately becomes a subversion, as by the end Salieri is shown to be every bit as violent and cutthroat as Morello, he's just less capricious about it. Even the drugs were, by Tommy's own admission, more a case of Pragmatic Villainy than Even Evil Has Standards. ("With drugs comes big money and even bigger problems.")

Unlike the rest of Passione (who are decidedly not neighborhood-friendly), Bucciarati's group is beloved by the general community, with even old people willingly going to them, a group of rogues with supernatural abilities and trouble surrounding them, for help. Bucciarati and Giorno only joined up with Passione in the first place to stop the mafia from dealing drugs to children, and their goal is to overthrow The Don of Passione and insert one of their own in his place. In fact, they outright openly rebel and gun for him when they learn the hard way that he is willing to kill his own daughter only because of the insane, paranoid idea that she could be a clue to his identity, even though she had neither met the man in her life nor knew anything about him. The personal targeting of an innocent and unrelated teenage girl was the last straw, though learning that the drugs were designed to be self-destructive, were made by a sub-branch of Passione, not to mention Stand-made'' didn't help. Giorno Giovanna got into crime because of one of these. When he was a child, regularly bullied and abused, he found a man bleeding out in a patch of tall grass. The men who shot him asked Giorno where the man had gone, and Giorno lied, saying that he had gone further away, saving the injured man's life. That man was a powerful gangster in Naples, and after he recovered he made it a point to use his influence to protect Giorno from a distance. His first act: having a "quick talk" with Giorno's abusive stepfather. Afterwards he mostly just ensured the local shop owners who trusted him would treat Giorno nicely and trust him as well. The only person who ever treated Giorno well was in the Mafia, and that inspired him to follow in his footsteps.

Members of the Guild do not kill, do not rob those who cannot afford to be robbed (no profit in stealing from the poor anyway), etc. The heroes of the Guild are Robin Hood-type figures, and later missions include things like saving a poor woman's home from a corrupt official by stealing his forged land deed, stealing a locket that a retired miner was forced to sell to pay his taxes and returning it to him, and stealing history books to give to a temple trying to help educate the community. Which is starkly contrasted by the opposing criminal organization, the Cammona Tong, a group of xenophobic murderers, drug pushers, slave dealers, and blackmailers. They're the only major civilian faction the player (as an "outlander") cannot join, and the only group other than the cult led by the Big Bad which is never portrayed in a positive light.

Later, another mafia family is introduced. This one (in the future) has taken over the world.

You want a job, you find a culture you like and start working for them. They'll take care of you and your family, and will represent your interests when Necessarius comes calling. Some are less so, though. The Nosferatu, for instance, are basically just a bunch of gangs with a vaguely common theme, and the Nessians are mentioned several times to be nothing but slavers. Necessarius, the biggest gang in the city, effectively is the government. They collect protection money instead of taxes, but otherwise are the same, and are in charge of keeping the cultures from getting too violent and enforcing laws. They're even implied to be in charge of civil planning and repair, judging by some of Butler's reactions to the destruction caused by the events of the story. They even coordinate elections, both for the senators for individual districts and the boss of Necessarius itself—though the latter position appears to be mostly permanent, it is apparently theoretically possible to depose him legally.

They've bargained for better wages and benefits for the local workers, established a neighborhood watch in the form of the Hardie Boys to make up for the RCM's decades-long absence, and they have big plans to renovate the poorer parts of town (although they're willing to expel people in the fishing village to make this happen). Even their involvement in the drug trade has had a net positive effect on Martainaise, as they ensured that it stays regulated and that its destructive excesses are kept in check. Despite appearances, the twins genuinely care about Martinaise and want to lift the neighborhood out of poverty, even if they are willing to screw over some of its inhabitants in the process.

The Chinese-American Cord Cai's fiance Roland got shot by a carjacker, and the police fucked up majorly on finding his murderer. After an Interrupted Suicide, Cord shoots the murderer and tags the front door before starting his reign as the Tin Man. It's Played for Drama because while this is a Superhero Origin story, Cord and Roland had a history of street-gang involvement and were trying to get away from the "Asian Gangster" stereotype. Once Roland dies, Cord calls himself yet another failure who can't escape the streets.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_bac8c243	comment	The Mask: The Mask, because of his wearer is a fan of the Tex Avery cartoons, decides to become a gangster; partly of them but mostly he wanted to instill fear and respect into people because of Stanley being bullied by some of those people. He goes after some of the people who ticked Stanley off the most, and robs a bank at one point so that he can have enough money to get inside the Coco Bongo, but other than that he is very polite, friendly, and nice towards the people who are nice to him or Stanley like Tina. He is also harmless, as he doesn't hurt or kill anyone at all, preferring to Trolling them and messing around as well, and he does help stop the Big Bad from killing Tina and everyone else in the Coco Bongo. Just about the worst thing The Mask does is shove mufflers up the asses of two corrupt mechanics who scammed Stanley out of a car. Even then, they're still alive (if in great pain) and last seen being taken to a hospital.

Most of the game takes place in rural New Mexico, so the communities are understandably small and close-knit, and the local criminal/spy bases are so poorly disguised that watching violent turf wars is a substitute for going to the movies.

In his narration, Henry considers Paulie and the other wiseguys to be regular people who simply protect the neighborhood from people trying to exploit it in return for payment. In reality, they're thugs who prey upon the mom and pop businesses to make their money and unleash several acts of Disproportionate Retribution on average joes who inadvertently disrupt their practices (i.e. strangling a mailman and shoving his face into an oven simply because he delivered a letter from Henry's school to his abusive parents telling them he's been playing hooky).

He's a Villain with Good Publicity, out only for his own gain, but in doing so often helps keep order and works to build up Atlantic City's industry. Atlantic City's primary industries are drinking and gambling, both illegal at the time of the setting, so anyone interested in supporting the community can't really avoid this trope. Chalky White is the crime boss of the city's black population. He maintains his power over the community by helping them solve various problems. In several scenes, he's shown to have a detailed knowledge of the local residents and their day-to-day lives. In one scene, however, several black women accuse him of preying on the community and giving back only baubles like Christmas hams to keep them placated.

The Barksdale crew sponsors a crosstown basketball game against the Eastside Proposition Joe crew. The Barksdales also help fund Cutty's boxing gym. Even Marlo is seen giving out money to the local kids for back-to-school clothes. In the process, he seems to be on the lookout for new hoppers such as Michael. Omar Little, in contrast to the drug lords, has a more Robin Hood-esque reputation. He would steal drugs and cash from stashes, and then distribute the drugs for free to people who lived near his hideouts. They would then act as spies for him.

The light novels do go a bit more into crime, with the Genoard fortune coming from cocaine and the Gandors being explicitly opposed to drug dealing. Of course, this only reinforces which characters are Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters. Also, Jacuzzi and Nice run a crew of community-minded delinquents.

Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters / int_f6eed39	comment	Generally deconstructed in The Sopranos; while the main characters certainly see themselves this way, the predatory nature of the mob is not hidden and the local businesses suffer regularly. On the other hand, the Jersey mobsters throw a traditional Santa Claus party and occasionally organize activities for the community. After Junior becomes boss in "Pax Soprana," he tries his hand at this trope by having a drug dealer who sold to children killed. The rest of the Jersey mob lambast this as bad business. In "The Ride," Paulie is assigned as manager of an amusement fair. He is such a cheapskate that he cuts corners and security budget to the point one ride becomes hazardous and an accident ensues. Artie practically exists to deconstruct this trope in microcosm — he's a childhood friend of Tony's whose restaurant gets regularly patronised by the mob and gets occasional gifts and favours out of his association with them, but they're awful at settling their huge tab and regularly ruin his life, so he just comes across as a naive, exploited mug.

The series even started because he died saving a young boy from being run over by a car. And often the quickest way for him to get stronger is if he sees his friends in serious danger. Yusuke's rival-turned-friend, Kazuma Kuwabara, leans more on the "Friendly" part of the trope. While still a delinquent who gets into fights like Yusuke does, Kuwabara is much nicer and more honorable. He dutifully honored a deal he made with a Sadist Teacher to be a model student (even if it led to him getting beat up with increasing frequency), he has a pet cat he is very fond of, and while he does have perverted tendencies, he's nothing but a gentleman towards his crush, Yukina.
