3 Types of Organized crime

1. Gang Criminality

◦ This type of criminality includes kidnapping, extortion, robbery, vehicle theft,

etc. on a large scale. Gangs are composed of tough and hardened criminals
who do not hesitate to kill, assault, or use violence. They are equipped with
modern pistols, bullet-proof vests, cars, etc. The gang criminals are efficient,
disciplined but dangerous.
◦ These criminals are recruited from among ex-convicts, escaped murderers,
professional gangsters, and high-powered robbers.
RACKETEERING
2. RACKETEERING

This is an activity of an organised criminal gang engaged in extortion of

money from both legitimate and illegitimate business through intimidation
of force. It also involves dishonest way of getting money by deceiving or
cheating people, selling worthless goods and articles, adulterated
commodities, spurious drugs and so forth.
The racketeers, unlike organised criminal gangs do not take away all the
profits but allow the owners of the illegitimate business to continue their
operations like prostitution, gambling, liquor trafficking, drug peddling,
etc., but give them (racketeers) regular fixed money.
SYNDICATE CRIMES
3. Syndicate Crime

This is furnishing illegal goods and services by an organised criminal gang, often
called ‘mafia’. The illegal goods could be drugs, liquor, etc. while the illegal
services could be call-girls, gambling and so forth. The syndicates create their
own ‘business’ procedures, usually operating from established headquarters.
They avoid using violence which differentiates them from organised criminal
gangs, who frequently use violence or threat of violence.
