Organized crime refer to large-scale crimes committed by
relatively stable groups of professional criminals like gangsters and racketeers. These
type of criminals form what is commonly described as the underworld
or the crime syndicates. Generally such crimes are committed as a
part of business in involving activities like gambling, prostitution, sale of drugs, and
loan-sharking. Organized crime is frequently also involved in activities like extortion,
kidnapping, and contract killing on a regular basis. One famous organization in Sicily
that indulged in large scale organized crime is Mafia. Because of
the notoriety gained by this organisation, the groups indulging in organized crime of
any kind are sometimes called mafias.
There is no specific
definition of non-organized crime. Perhaps any crime that is not organized crime comes
under the category of non-organized crime. These crimes would include a very wide range
from petty thefts and spontaneous acts of violence to big well planned robberies and
murders. It will include many different categories of crime like white collar crimes and
political crimes.
