- Organized crime, also known as criminal organizations, are endeavors of crime run by a group of criminals. These endeavors are usually run for the purpose of earning a monetary profit, but may also include political motivations. On Earth, the mob was an influential criminal organization during the 20th century. As humanity moved out into the stars, the influence of the mob was felt, as a book detailing the history of the Chicago mobs came into the possession of the people of Sigma Iotia II, who changed their society to match that of 1920s Chicago.

Current law defines "organized crime" as This definition describes organized crime in terms of the illegal activities rather than in terms of what constitutes a criminal organization. In the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, and more specifically within Title IX — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) — organized crime is defined in terms of an “enterprise” and a “pattern of racketeering activity.” The predicate offenses for racketeering include a host of state and federal crimes listed in 18 U.S.C. §1961.

| - The statutory definition of organized crime stems from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended. Current law defines "organized crime" as This definition describes organized crime in terms of the illegal activities rather than in terms of what constitutes a criminal organization. In the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970, and more specifically within Title IX — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) — organized crime is defined in terms of an “enterprise” and a “pattern of racketeering activity.” The predicate offenses for racketeering include a host of state and federal crimes listed in 18 U.S.C. §1961. Although RICO provides a definition for an “enterprise,” it does not describe the attributes of a criminal enterprise that distinguish it from a legal enterprise. In addition, this definition describes organized crime more in terms of the illegal activities than in terms of the criminal organization. The structure of modern organized crime groups often does not exhibit the rigid hierarchy of more traditional organized crime groups such as the Italian Mafia. Organized crime groups restrict membership based on a number of factors, including race, ethnicity, kinship, and criminal background. These criminal organizations continue, even if leadership or membership changes over time. Further, violence and/or the threat of violence are integral aspects of organized crime. Organized crime groups profit from illegal enterprises as well as from infiltrating legitimate businesses. They may attempt to corrupt public officials in order to escape investigation, prosecution, or punishment. Notably, the primary goal of organized crime groups is to make money; these groups are profit-driven rather than ideology-driven (a key distinction between organized crime and terrorist groups). Though organized crime has arguably always been transnational, it was not until the 1990s, following the Cold War and the spread of globalization, that the transnational nature of organized crime surged and criminals expanded their operations across increasingly open borders.

(TOS episode: "A Piece of the Action") In the 2250s of an alternate reality, organized crime was active in Russia on Earth and operated extensively in the online realm. The teenaged Pavel Chekov became a legend in the Russian online community as a white-knight hacker who crippled the operations of online scam artists. Chekov was known by a Russian screen name which translated as "MisterCleanUp". No one, not even the hackers employed by Russian organized crime, ever identified MisterCleanUp with Chekov. (TOS - Starfleet Academy novel: The Gemini Agent) The Orion Syndicate was a powerful criminal organization that was active on an interstellar scale. Humanity first encountered the Syndicate in the mid-22nd century, and the syndicate was still active in the 24th century. (ENT episode: "Borderland" and DS9 episode: "Honor Among Thieves")
