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.

Yes, because they provide nothing but crime. There is no redeeming value of gangs.
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.
Yes, youth gangs are often involved in organized crime, particularly in areas where they engage in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, and weapons offenses. These gangs can serve as a recruitment pool for larger organized crime groups, providing manpower and street-level operations. Their involvement is typically driven by economic factors, social influence, and a desire for power or protection within their communities. Law enforcement agencies view youth gangs as a significant concern due to their potential to escalate violence and criminal activity.

Gangs and mobs were popular because they provided a sense of belonging and identity for marginalized individuals, as well as a means for survival and protection. Additionally, involvement in gangs and mobs offered potential financial benefits through illegal activities such as organized crime and racketeering. The allure of power, respect, and camaraderie also attracted many individuals to join these groups.
A gangster is a member of a criminal organization involved in organized crime activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, and violent crimes. A mobster refers specifically to a member of the Italian-American Mafia, which is a part of organized crime syndicates originating from Italy. Both terms are often used interchangeably to refer to individuals involved in organized crime.

Definition: Predatory Gangs: Social predators commit the violent crimes (drive-by shootings, carjacking, and organized drug dealing). These members use drugs like crystal meth and cocaine which can fuel tendencies toward violent activities. Scavenger Gangs: Are characteristically disorganized and often represent the least successful of all the types of gangs. Members of scavenger gangs may be low achievers, and may be prone to violent or erratic behavior. Because these gangs are not well organized, leadership of scavenger gangs may change frequently and without reason. Scavenger gangs often turn to low-level crime.
