Concept information
Preferred term
organized crime: ethnic-versus market-based
Definition
- Research and police documents that have attempted to cast light on the operation of organized crime groups have looked at their criminal operations in two ways: either as ethnic-based criminal operations or as market-based criminal operations. The first tends to see organized crime groups as fairly rigid in terms of structure and limited in membership to criminals from the same ethnicity (Italian organized crime, Jamaican organized crime, and so on).
