Definition. Define the following terms based on our previous discussion


1. Subculture - A subculture is a group of people within a culture that differentiates itself
from the parent culture to which it belongs, often maintaining some of its founding
principles. Subcultures develop their own norms and values regarding cultural, political
and sexual matters. Subcultures differ from countercultures

resentment is the explanation for crime causation.

embarrassing or damaging information if a demand is not met.
4. Loan sharking - is a person who or an entity that loans money at extremely high
interest rates and often uses threats of violence to collect debts. The interest rates are
generally well above an established legal rate, and often loan sharks are members of
organized crime groups.
5. Soldati - The lowest level “members” of a Family. The soldiers or “buttom” men report

its profit to the organization in return for the right to operate.
6. Consigliere - same level as the underboss but operating in a staff capacity, who is a
counselor or adviser. Often an elder member of the Family who has partially retired
from a career in crime, he gives advice to family members, including the boss and the
underboss, and thereby enjoys considerable influence and power.

of influencing the actions of an individual holding a public or legal duty

Discussion. Discuss the following topics
1. Differentiate organized crime group from the following:

A. Terrorist groups The use of violence or of the threat of violence in the pursuit of
political, religious, ideological or social objectives. Acts committed by non-state actors
(or by undercover personnel serving on the behalf of their respective governments).
B. Criminal gangs defined as an ongoing group, club, organization, or association of
five or more persons formed for the purpose of committing a violent crime or
drug offense, with members who have engaged in a continuing series of
violent crimes or drug law violations that affect interstate.
C. Rebel groups defined here as a polity that uses armed conflict in opposition to
established government (or governments) for reasons such as to seek political change or
to establish, maintain, or to gain independence.
2. How can a crime be considered transnational? What are the usual crimes that can be
considered as transnational crimes? It will considered a violations of law that involve
more than one country in their planning, execution, or impact. Human trafficking, drug
trafficking, arms trafficking, cybercrime, illegal logging and state
3. How globalization affects organized crime operations?
4. Transnational criminals have been one of the biggest beneficiaries
of globalization.” Globalization facilitates international trade but also increases the
difficulty of regulating global trade; traffickers and smugglers have exploited this. ... This
has allowed illicit actors to launder the proceeds of crime more easily.
5. Differentiate the corporate model from patron-client relationship of organized crime
groups. corporate criminals are created from the opportunities available to them in
companies organized around doing legitimate business, whereas members of organized
crime members must be accomplished criminals before they enter such groups.
6. On the following criminology theories, what do you think is the best theory that can
explain people why the choose to join organized crime group. Cite some example
scenario to support your answer. For me the differential association theory because
Interacting with different people if he or she is a criminal you may be influence of his or
her values, attitudes, techniques, and motives for criminal behavior and also the area is
also a factor to become a criminal.
Example:
 James becomes a marijuana user because his or her friends influence him to join
their session to become a user and a seller of marijuana.
 Christian lives in a squatter area where burglary, theft, and robbery are frequent
he becomes a robber when he grows up.
