Discuss the difference between a "criminal organization" and an "organization of criminals," using the American Mafia and the Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs (OMC) as examples of these concepts

What will be an ideal response?


American Mafia groups are criminal organizations—their raison d'être is the business of crime—whereas outlaw motorcycle clubs exist to promote a subcultural biker lifestyle. The American Mafia attracts and selects hardcore criminals. Outlaw biker clubs attract tough, violent young men who were not necessarily in the business of crime before joining a club.
