Understanding Criminal Behavior

Organized crime groups always operate with the main purpose of committing serious crimes for financial gain.

White-collar crime typically stems from legitimate business activity.

Terrorism aims to achieve political or social objectives through acts of violence.

A criminal organization is defined as having at least 5 members working together for the commission of serious crimes.

White-collar crime and organized crime have no similarities in their criminal behavior.

An organized criminal group must exist for a considerable period before engaging in any criminal activities.

Organized crime groups usually rely on the corruption of public officials to ensure their continued operation.

The term 'organized crime' is interchangeable with 'terrorism' due to their similar nature of criminal activities.

Freedom and discretion can lead to fewer opportunities for abuse.

Individualists (Integrative) have strong group strength and rules.

Isolates (Expressive) are not isolated or alienated offenders.

Ideologues (Conservative) base their decisions on existing frameworks rather than making every decision from scratch.

Organized Hierarchy (Adaptive) groups operate with procedures and routines.

Integrative offenders value long-term relationships over short-lived ones.

Expressive offenders feel like they are victims of others' actions.

Adaptive groups, like the US mafia, have a low level of classification and ranks.

Chains as subgroups are subgroups that are connected to each other with each member connected to all other members.

Degree centrality measures allow for determining the relevance and importance of a node in a network.

In-degree in a network refers to the number of tail endpoints adjacent to the node.

Closeness and betweenness are types of centrality measures used in network analysis.

In POSA analysis, higher scores indicate nodes that are more isolated and less connected in the network.

High-ranked nodes in POSA analysis will appear scattered across the geometric space.

Networks with closer groups will exhibit more diversity in terms of node characteristics.

Organized crime networks analyzed using POSA show that closer groups have more distinct profiles and characteristics.

Sammy Gravano earned the nickname 'Sammy the Bull' because of his strength and size.

Sammy Gravano dropped out of high school because he found it too challenging and wanted to pursue a life of crime.

Sammy Gravano only targeted private homes for theft because they were easier to burglarize.

Sammy Gravano's reputation among criminal elements improved after his time in prison.

Organized crime groups always have the same objectives as terrorist groups.

Joining organized crime can provide individuals with special access to resources like education and healthcare.

Sammy Gravano's nickname 'Sammy the Bull' stemmed from his admiration for bullfighting.

Sammy Gravano viewed those who stayed in school as more intelligent and respectable than himself.

Vyacheslav Ivankov's propensity toward violence led him to become involved in organized crime in New York City.

By the age of 15, Vyacheslav Ivankov was known for his street brawling and enjoyment of beating up people.

Vyacheslav Ivankov's criminal connections expanded internationally after being imprisoned.

The number of organized crime groups decreased from 2008 to 2013.

In 2020, half of the organized crime groups had scopes limited to Canada only.

Vyacheslav Ivankov's involvement in organized crime started in Moscow, Russia.

Vyacheslav Ivankov was primarily involved in legal businesses before turning to organized crime.

Organized crime groups have a direct impact on taxes, safety, and banking fees.
