What will be an ideal response?


Organized crime refers to unlawful activities of the members of a highly organized, disciplined association engaged in supplying illegal goods and services.

Because organized crime involves providing illegal goods and services that are in high demand, it frequently provides huge profits. One result of this is often the bribery of government officials, particularly law enforcement officers, as a way of ensuring that they do not interfere with the distribution of illegal goods and services. During Prohibition, illegal alcohol often was delivered under police protection and corrupt government officials in many cities received regular payoffs from criminal cartels.
