If you have some commuting or treadmill time, pull the CrimeTown podcast on Providence, Rhode Island. There are interviews with various mob guys, cops, victims, etc., which will give you a range of motives or justifications at least for being a mob guy. It also paints a picture of the rise and fall of Providence's most colorful mayor.

The true crime genre is your friend here, particularly books by former bad guys. Take, as always, with a huge grain of salt, but even the lies one tells oneself are useful to the writer, or GM.
