{{Important}}[[File:Organized_crime.jpeg|thumb|300px]]{{Quote|The mafia is not something that you can see or hear. There aren’t dead bodies on the streets, or shootings. In Mexico or in Italy, between corpses, blood and drug seizures it’s impossible to think that the Mafia doesn’t exist. In Italy and in Mexico Mafia is loud and it smells of blood. In London, as in Paris, it exists, but it’s quiet, it acts in the dark. And most of all it doesn’t have the pungent smell of blood, but the reassuring smell of money. It’s not true that money doesn’t smell, it does smell indeed, but you definitely can’t rely on your sense of smell to identify criminal money.|Roberto Saviano, ''Dirty Money in London''.}} '''Organized crime''' or '''criminal organizations''' are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnationality transnational], national, or local groupings of highly centralized infenterprises run by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime criminals] for the purpose of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money monetary] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_%28economics%29 profit]. Some criminal organizations, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism terrorist organizations], are politically motivated. Sometimes criminal organizations force people to do business with them, as when a gang extorts money from shopkeepers for so-called "protection".<span style="font-size:11px;line-height:0px;"> </span>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang Gangs] may become disciplined enough to be considered ''organized''. An organized gang or criminal set can also be referred to as a '''mob'''. Other organisations like, States, the Army, Police, Governments and Corporations may sometimes use organised crime methods to conduct their business, but their powers derive from their status as formal social [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutionalisation institutions]. There is a tendency to distinguish organised crime from other forms of crimes, such as, [[white-collar crime]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_crimes financial crimes], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_crime political crimes], [[war crimes]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_crime state crimes] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason treason]. This distinction is not always apparent and the academic debate is ongoing. For example, in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failed_state failed states] that can no longer perform basic functions such as education, security, or governance, usually due to fractious violence or extreme poverty, organised crime, governance and war are often complimentary to each other. The term Parliamentary Mafiocracy is often attributed to democratic countries whose political, social and economic institutions are under the control of few families and business oligarchs. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States United States], the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_Crime_Control_Act Organized Crime Control Act]'' (1970) defines organized crime as "The unlawful activities of [...] a highly organized, disciplined association [...]".Criminal activity as a structured group is referred to as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_%28crime%29 racketeering] and such crime is commonly referred to as the work of the ''Mob''. In the UK, police estimate organized crime involves up to 38,000 people operating in 6,000 various groups. In addition, due to the escalating violence of [[Mexican drug cartels|Mexico's drug war]], the Mexican [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_cartel drug cartels] are considered the "greatest organized crime threat to the United States" according to a report issued by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice United States Department of Justice] Organized crime groups often partake in a variety of illicit activities, including (but not limited to) [[Arms trafficking|arms trafficking]], [[Illegal Drug Trade|drug trafficking]], [[Human Trafficking|human trafficking]], forced prostitution, extortion, racketeering, and [[money laundering]], among other things. ==Drug cartels== ===Latin America=== ''See also [[Manuel Noriega]]'s [[Kleptocracy#Narcokleptocracy|narcokleptocracy]]'' ** [[Medellín Cartel]] ***[[Griselda Blanco|Miami branch]] ** [[Cali Cartel]] ''(see also [[Los Pepes]])'' ** [[Norte del Valle Cartel]]<ref name="mcmafia"/><ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/><ref name="drugs"/> ** [[Black Eagles]]<ref name="para">{{cite web|url=http://www.hrw.org/en/node/88058/section/9 |title=Paramilitaries' Heirs -

These gangs often develop a large influence outside the prison walls through their networks. Most [[prison gangs]] do more than offer simple protection for their members. Most often, prison gangs are responsible for any [[recreational drug use|drug]], [[tobacco]] or [[alcohol]] handling inside correctional facilities. Furthermore, many prison gangs involve themselves in [[prostitution]], [[assault]]s, [[kidnapping]]s and murders. Prison gangs often seek to intimidate the other inmates, pressuring them to relinquish their food and other resources. In addition, prison gangs often exercise a large degree of influence over [[organized crime]] in the "free world", larger than their isolation in prison might lead one to expect. *[[Primeiro Comando da Capital]] (First Command of the Capital)<ref name="traffic"/><ref name="mcmafia"/><ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/> *[[Thief in law|Vory v zakone]] (вор в законе)<ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/><ref name="rusmafia"/><ref name="river"/><ref name="armenia"/> *[[The Numbers Gang]]<ref name="rosskemp1">Kemp, Ross (2008) ''Gangs'', Penguin, ISBN 978-0-14-103225-2</ref> *[[Brödraskapet]] (The Brotherhood)<ref name="sweden"/> *[[Chopper Read#Criminal activity|The Overcoat Gang]] ===[[Prison gangs in the United States|American]]=== *[[Convicts]] *[[White American|White]] **[[Aryan Brotherhood]]<ref name="traffic"/><ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/><ref name="gangland"/><ref name="gangs">Kinnear, Karen L (2009) ''Gangs: a reference handbook'', ABC-CLIO, ISBN 1-59884-125-4</ref><ref name="prisongang">[http://www.justice.gov/ndic/pubs32/32146/appc.htm#start National Gang Threat Assessment 2009 - Appendix C - Prison gangs]{{dead link|date=February 2012}}</ref><ref name="whitepower"/> **[[Dead Man Incorporated]]<ref name="gangland"/> **[[Public Enemy No. 1 (street gang)|Public Enemy No. 1]]<ref name="gangland">''Gangland'', Discovery Channel</ref> **[[Nazi Lowriders]]<ref name="traffic"/> **[[European Kindred]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://portland.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/pd020910.htm |title=Department of Justice Press Release - Founding Member of White Supremacist Prison Gang European Kindred (EK) Sentenced to 90 Months in Federal Prison |publisher=Portland.fbi.gov |date= |accessdate=2012-02-19}}</ref> **[[Aryan Circle]] **[[Peckerwood]]s *[[Hispanic]] **[[Eduardo Ravelo|Barrio Azteca]]<ref name="mexico"/><ref name="gangland"/><ref name="prisongang"/> **[[Mexican Mafia]] (La Eme)<ref name="traffic"/><ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/><ref name="drugs"/><ref name="gangland"/><ref name="gangs"/><ref name="prisongang"/> **[[Nuestra Familia]]<ref name="traffic"/><ref name="traffic"/><ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/><ref name="gangland"/> **[[Nuevo Syndicato]]<ref>{{cite web|author=Robert Walker |url=http://www.gangsorus.com/new_mexico_syndicate_prison_gang.htm |title=New Mexico Syndicate Prison Gang |publisher=Gangsorus.com |date=2011-12-30 |accessdate=2012-02-19}}</ref> **[[Texas Syndicate]] (Syndicato Tejano)<ref name="gangland"/> **[[Ñetas]]<ref name="dto"/><ref name="prisongang"/> **[[Puro Tango Blast]]<ref name="gangland"/> **[[Mexikanemi]]<ref name="prisongang"/> *[[African American]] **[[Black Guerrilla Family]]<ref name="gangstersencyclopedia"/><ref name="gangland"/><ref name="prisongang"/> **[[D.C.
