Why do so many people relate organized crime with gangs or the mob?
Organized crime groups are transnational, national, or local groupings of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals for the purpose of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for monetary profit. Sometimes criminal organizations force people to do business with them, as when a gang extorts money from shopkeepers for so-called protection. Gangs may become disciplined enough to be considered organized. An organized gang or criminal set can also be referred to as a mob.
What are empirical and speculative theories in organized crime?
There are different theories of organized crime. The first one is the queer ladder of mobility theory that states that organized crime was a means to accumulating power and money. There is also the social control theory that says that family, community and social bond will either encourage or prevent entry into a life of crime for an individual. It continues to state that fear of embarrassment, punishment and psychological restraints will restrain people from engaging in organized crime. Organized crime has organizing principles and a definite structure to retain control and grow.

Truman was backed by the Kansas City mob, but he had no more ties with it than any Kansas City business man had to have in order to stay in business there.
