What Is the Business of Organized Crime

Abstract

is becoming widely accepted that the business of organized crime is to provide the public with illicit goods and services like bets, narcotics, sex out of wedlock and unregulated loans. Federal law even defines organized crime as those unlawful activities in which a highly organized, disciplined association supplies illegal goods and services. The appendix on organized crime in the Staff Report to the Commission on Violence states, It is well known that organized crime exists and thrives because it provides services the public demands, and Organized crime depends not on victims, but on customers.*
