Abstract: The article analyzes and explains contempo­rary evidence, forms and structures of organized criminal activity. A general theoretical framework has been defined for this purpose. The frame­work includes structural, ethnic and economic boundaries and patterns of organized crime and the relation between analytical views. Several classifications of organized crime have been out­lined on the basis of the defined framework: by function, by degree of connection with the politi­cal and social system, by activity, and by struc­tural characteristics. The principles of action of each classification have been analyzed. Finally, through the theoretical statements, the contem­porary forms and trends of criminal activity have been examined and explained, using analysis of examples and cases of secondary data.
