Crime organizations are structured groups that engage in illegal activities for profit. These groups can vary in size and scope, ranging from small local gangs to large international syndicates. Common activities include drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, and money laundering. They often use violence and intimidation to maintain control and protect their interests.
Many crime organizations operate in secrecy and have complex hierarchies. Some well-known examples include the Mafia, Yakuza, and Cartels. Law enforcement agencies around the world work to dismantle these organizations, but their influence can be deeply entrenched in communities and economies.
