Racketeering And Organized Crime
Racketeering and Organized Crime, in my opinion, goes hand in hand. Racketeering is only a small part of what Organized Criminal organizations do. The individual or group will participate in bribery, counterfeiting, embezzlement, and many others. Most organized crime factions are motivated by money; Racketeering is how most criminal enterprises get started. Racketeering is also in direct correlation of extortion; making the threat and protection may be more or less deniably implied. The gangs 20 years ago were seen as an organized crime Organization because they have leadership, rules and regulations. The gangs today do not have the same structures and rules and obedience of the ones previously mentioned. Today’s gangs aren’t about helping the group as a whole but more wanting to help out themselves.
