How does a traditional organized crime family differ from a organized crime entity?

In: Law & Legal Issues, Organized Crime [Edit categories]

Answer:

A traditional organized crime family is hierarchical, with individuals serving in the roles of leader, supervisors, or workers. The more modern organized crime groups sometimes have shared leadership. They might also involve a loose confederation of groups working together to commit crimes (Osterburg & Ward, 2007, p. 617).
