Since the 1920s, organized crime has fascinated, horrified, and been a continuous concern for citizens and law enforcement officials in the United States and in the world.  Organized crime can be defined as a group of individuals who have structured plans and their objective is to get money by or through committing illegal activities. Individuals who relate to organized crime meet their financial needs through violence, corrupt officials, and extortion. These individuals end up affecting people from as close as their neighborhoods and as far away as other countries. (Lupsha, 1996)

One of the ways to analyzed how organized crime has evolved over time is by examining the FBI Crime Report. According to them, organized crime in United States has taken on increasingly global nature. This matter has been facilitated by factors such as economic globalization and improved technology. The National Intelligence Council has projected that by 2025 the relative power of criminal networks will continue to rise. (National Intelligent Council, Global Trends 2008)

The impact of the organized crime in our economy can be seeing as how they weaken our economy with illegal activities, resultant in a loss of tax revenue for State and Federal Government with activities like money laundering, cigarette trafficking, piracy and counterfeiting which negative impact the country’s economic health and the housing markets.
