Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Organized crime is a business operation that supplies illegal goods and services for

profit. Premeditated, continuous illegal activities of organized crime include drug

trafficking, prostitution, loan-sharking, money laundering, and large-scale theft such as

truck hijackings. Organized crime thrives because there is great demand for illegal

goods and services. Criminal organizations initially gain control of illegal activities by

combining threats and promises. Apart from their illegal enterprises, organized crime

groups have infiltrated the world of legitimate business. Known linkages between

legitimate businesses and organized crime exist in banking, hotels and motels, real

estate, garbage collection, vending machines, construction, delivery and long-distance

hauling, garment manufacture, insurance, stocks and bonds, vacation resorts, and

funeral parlors. In addition, some law enforcement and government officials are

corrupted through bribery, campaign contributions, and favors intended to buy them off.
