context: The district court here looked behind the RICO conviction and considered the underlying predicate offenses in determining whether Scott's offense qualified as a crime of violence. It was proper for the court to do so. Application Note 2 to U.S.S.G. SS 4B1.2 requires that the focus of the inquiry in making a "crime of violence" determination be on the conduct for which Scott was convicted.
