Me personaly, I think that the Mafia is organized crime, but not all organized crime are a Mafia. Most of the times, I see three way of thinking.

1. Mafia = Sicilian organized crime
2. Mafia = Italian organized crime
3. Mafia = organized crime of any group.

So like I said, I think theirs difference between Mafia and Organized Crime, but what are the criteria to dsitinguish the differences between Mafia and Organized crime?

The Hells Angels are organized crime, but they are not a Mafia. Black Mafia Family are organized crime, but not a Mafia. Are Nigerians, Russians or others are really a Mafia?



black mafia family are knot organized crime. bmf doesn't exist anymoar, and they were nothing moar than a record label. they were called black mafia family entertainment. but bmf has been defunct since 2003, why even bring them up?
