Abstract: The structure and operation mode of the traditional organized crime groups has undergone great changes due to power penetration.The new type of organized crime groups,supported by “rightful power” and “legal enterprises”,is characterized by increasing “legal economy”,decreasing illegal “black economy”,and declining use of organized violence.However,the essence of the organized crime groups remains unchanged.On the contrary,with power penetration,these groups not only damage market and disturb the peace in a larger scale,but are encroaching on the body of state power,turning social security issue into state one.Therefore,academic circles should pay more attention to new empirical research in the field of criminology,taking power and property as the principal lines to deal with these phenomena.

Key words: organized crime, organized crime groups, property of the organized crime groups, white-collar crime
