Criminal organization

A criminal organization is a group run by criminals to further their illegal activities. Usually having to do with drugs, prostitution, money laundering and black marketeering. These activities are also called vice and organized crime. Some also engage in acts of political, racist, and religiously motivated violence, and in acts of terrorism and crimes against humanity.

Examples of criminal organizations would include the Mafia and the Yakuza. The role of prison gangs, by definition criminal, on activities on the outside is under-estimated by many.
