What would you call one who is involved in a crime?
It depends on whether they think the person is part of the crime as well. If they do, then the person is called an accomplice... someone who helped the suspect commit the crime. If not, then the person is just an associate... someone who knows the suspect and might be able to identify where he or she is.

Is it ever okay to commit a crime?
If you commit a crime, then you're breaking the law. If you call breaking the law a crime, then yes, you're committing a crime by committing a crime.Added; A criminal act is composed of two conscious acts: The Mens Reus (the criminal intent) and the Actus Reus (the criminal act). By committing the act you are completing the 2nd part of the offense necessary to convict you - therefore YES, you are engaged in committing a crime.But it's still a paradox. If you commit a crime by committing a crime, then wouldn't you be committing a crime for the committed crime for committing a crime> It goes on forever, but then final answer is YES.

Why should gangs be considered part of organized crime?
This is an opionion question and is not allowed on WikiAnswers, but I will answer it in my opinion. A gang is a formed group. Forming a group is an organized act. Also any crime which is done in concert (that is, with the assistance of another or more persons) is also an organized crime. So if you commit a crime on behalf of a gang, it is an organized crime.

Would a person get punished where they committed the crime or where they got caught?
The person would be tried and punished where they committed the crime. It is part of our justice system to be tried by a jury of our peers, and our peers live in our own neighborhood. So if the person is caught elsewhere, he is returned to the jurisdiction where he committed the crime to be tried. This is why the process of extradition is in place.
