has abstract	Jamaican posses, often referred to simply as posses, are a loose coalition of Jamaican gangs, based predominantly in Kingston, London, New York City and Toronto, first being involved in drugs and arms trafficking in the early 1980s. Jamaican posses have links to the main Jamaican political parties, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and the People's National Party (PNP). The JLP posses dominate the west and south of Kingston and other smaller towns and the PNP posses are mainly found in the eastern and central side and there are a few that state they are not allied to either political party. These are often in the northern slums of downtown Kingston. In the United Kingdom, these Jamaican gangsters would be referred to as yardies in reference to people who lived in "government yards" ("Yard" is a Jamaican slang for home and surrounding areas). "Yardie" is an adjective describing any one from Jamaica in the aftermath of Hurricane Charlie, which hit Jamaica in 1951. They are strongly populated in London and are specifically known to have occupied and operate in Brixton, Harlesden, Tottenham, Hackney and Peckham among other areas. (en) Mafia giamaicana (o posse giamaicana) è il nome col quale si identificano quei collettivi criminali indipendenti e non sempre legati tra loro divisi tra bande di strada e cartelli della droga, formati prevalentemente da giamaicani e anglocaraibici. Estesasi nei territori d'oltremare tra gli anni '60 e '70, inizialmente dedita a piccoli reati come furti, risse e rapine, in seguito alcune bande si staccano dal modello banditista per evolversi in vere e proprie organizzazioni criminali di ispirazione mafiosa operanti nel settore del contrabbando d'armi e farmaci e spaccio di droga. Soppiantando in parte gli affari delle vecchie confederazioni criminali, i malavitosi giamaicani conquistarono il mercato della droga stabilendosi a New York negli anni '80, nel periodo della cosiddetta invasione del crack, e a Toronto.
