organized crime

Read a random definition: long-term foster care

A quick definition of organized crime:

Organized crime refers to a group of criminals who work together to commit illegal activities, such as selling drugs or running illegal businesses. These criminals are organized and have a leader who controls their actions. They rely on these illegal activities to make money.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Organized crime refers to a group of criminals who work together to commit illegal activities for financial gain. These activities are usually controlled by a central syndicate.

Examples: Organized crime can include activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, and human trafficking. For example, a group of individuals may work together to smuggle drugs into a country and distribute them to local dealers for profit. They may also use violence or threats to force businesses to pay them protection money.

Explanation: Organized crime is different from individual criminal acts because it involves a group of people working together in a structured and coordinated way. The goal of organized crime is to make money through illegal means, and the syndicate that controls the activities often uses violence or intimidation to maintain their power. These criminal activities can have a significant impact on society, including contributing to drug addiction, violence, and corruption.

[] baddestbunny
19:57
With respect to graduate or professional school, are you or will you be in the first generation of (i) your immediate family, or (ii) the household(s) in which you grew up, to graduate from such a school?
[] baddestbunny
19:58

1a2b3c4d26z
19:58

[] baddestbunny
19:58

[] baddestbunny
19:58
like they are immediate family but I didn't grow up with them
1a2b3c4d26z
19:58

Hmm. If this Q is on a law school application it depends on what constitutes immediate family.

19:58
Feel like that's an inclusive or
[] baddestbunny
19:59
yeah I was trying to decide if it was meant to be inclusive
Oh wait the second part is household you grew up in. So, I think the answer would be yes.
[] baddestbunny
19:59
like my answer is no to the first one, yes to the second one
1a2b3c4d26z
19:59
I don't think a) anyone will find out whether you consider it inclusive nor b) care
1a2b3c4d26z
19:59

1a2b3c4d26z

Duke says: Will you be a first-generation professional student (i.e., none of your parent(s) or the people who raised you have a degree beyond the bachelor's level)?
