Organized Crime

Organized crime refers to structured groups engaging in illegal activities to generate profit and power, often operating across local, national, or global networks. These criminal organizations are involved in activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering, cybercrime, extortion, and smuggling. With a sophisticated hierarchy and systems to evade law enforcement, organized crime poses significant challenges to public safety, economic stability, and governance. Efforts to combat organized crime include international cooperation, intelligence-sharing, and robust legal frameworks to disrupt these illicit operations and protect communities worldwide.
