Many policy makers and some academics believe that mafias move easily between countries and with little difficulty quickly become deeply rooted. The reality is more complicated. Mafiosi often move away from their home territories because they are forced to do so rather than because they relocate for strategic reasons; that kind of transplantation abroad tends to be unsuccessful. Whether transplantation succeeds depends on the presence of mafiosi and local factors, such as whether markets, construction, or illegal drugs are booming and poorly regulated. Under some conditions, transplantation results in wholesale separation between the original organization and the outpost. Mafiosi abroad often neither plan nor hope to achieve the kinds of control of territories, industries, and markets they exercise at home but to buy or sell illegal commodities, thereby engaging in a process of functional diversification.

许多政策制定者和一些学者认为，黑手党在国家之间很容易转移，并且毫不费力地迅速扎根。现实更加复杂。黑手党经常离开自己的领地，是因为他们被迫这样做而不是因为战略原因而搬迁。国外的这种移植往往是不成功的。移植是否成功取决于黑手党的存在和当地因素，例如市场，建筑或非法毒品是否正在蓬勃发展且监管不力。在某些情况下，移植会导致原始组织和前哨站之间的批发分离。国外的黑手党成员通常既不计划也不希望实现对他们在家中所从事的领土，工业和市场的控制，而只是买卖非法商品，
