{{main|Terrorism}}
In addition to what is considered traditional organized crime involving direct crimes of fraud swindles, scams, racketeering and other acts motivated for the accumulation of monetary gain, there is also non-traditional organized crime which is engaged in for political or ideological gain or acceptance. Such crime groups are often labelled [[List of designated terrorist groups|terrorist groups]] or [[Narcoterrorism|narcoterrorists]].<ref name="terror">[https://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/pdf-files/NarcsFundedTerrs_Extrems.pdf A GLOBAL OVERVIEW OF NARCOTICS-FUNDED TERRORIST AND OTHER EXTREMIST GROUPS] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171215035951/http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/pdf-files/NarcsFundedTerrs_Extrems.pdf |date=2017-12-15 }}, May 2002, Library of Congress – Federal Research Division</ref><ref>Testimony of Victor Comras to the US House Subcommittee on Financial Oversight and Investigations, hearings on Current and Evolving Trends in Terrorism Financing.

The use of similar tactics by criminal organizations for [[protection racket]]s or to enforce a [[code of silence]] is usually not labeled terrorism though these same actions may be labeled terrorism when done by a politically motivated group.

Notable groups include the [[Medellín Cartel]], [[Corleonesi Mafia]], various [[Mexican cartel|Mexican Cartels]], and [[Jamaican Posse]].
