Here in Northern Ireland the paramilitaries used to take it as “window cleaning money” but didn’t actually clean the windows unfortunately.
My mum who grew up during the Troubles said they did protect and they still do. Anti social behaviour is often met with “kneecappings” (shot in the back of the knee, it’s generally carried out via appointment)
A while ago someone was crucified against a fence. It was likely over a drug feud.
I knew someone who once had his dog stolen. He went to the police and they did nothing. After waiting a week he went to his local paramilitary and they had it sorted that evening.
A few months ago, a riot and house burnings were orchestrated by them in Ballymoney to push Romanians and Gypsies out of an estate community due to anti social behaviour.
If you don’t pay up, they’ll start damaging your property
