Why dont you hear of young ones getting made at the age of like 20-25? Is it because of the fact they are new to the organised crime field and they dont have as much experience as the the middle aged?
Thta's pretty much it. There have been a few well-connected guys here and there that were made in their 20's but it's very rare. Despite the general decline in the quality of mob recruits over the years, they typically don't give out buttons to just any punk kid who wants one. It's about experience. But it's also about showing over an extended period of time that you can stand up to the heat when indictments come down.
