How did prohibition promulgate the practice of forming criminal organizations?

Answer:
Prohibition didn't so much promulgate the practice of forming criminal organizations as it gave criminal organizations a huge boost in revenue and thereby making it more important to those in charge of these organizations to "protect their investments". Organized crime existed before Prohibition as it still exists after.
