Organized crime means ongoing conspiratorial enterprise engaged in illicit activities as a means of generating income (as black money).
It is structured like a business into a pyramid shaped hierarchy, it freely employs violence and bribery to maintain its operations, threats of grievous retribution (including murder) to maintain internal and external control, and thuggery and contribution to election campaigns to buy political patronage for immunity from exposure and prosecution.
Its activities include credit card fraud, gun running, illegal gambling, insurance fraud, kidnapping for ransom, narcotics trade, pornography, prostitution, racketeering, smuggling, vehicle theft, etc.

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.
