Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Manuel Castells described organized crime as "networks of illegal behavior, usually involving large groups of individuals or businesses," and the heroin networks that stretch across Asia fit this description. The Ponzi scheme by Bernard Madoff was a single-person operation and would not be considered an example of organized crime. Prison gangs and inner-city youth gangs can be considered examples of organized crime, but they are not described specifically by Castells.
