Summary/Abstract: Organized crime is a major public safety problem and specific negative social phenomenon that is non-armed form of threat to national security. Because academic and legal definition of organized crime should be based on the fact that the term "security" is composed of three basic elements: facility security (what is protected? Shield is vital state value), the subject security (who is responsible to protect the security of the facility? State) and subject dangers or threats (who or which protects the object of security? Protects from anyone who threatens his safety). For a fuller understanding of the relationships between these elements, it is necessary to answer the following questions: why and how the subject of safety must (should?) To protect the security of the facility organized crime, which (by any means) where (in physical terms) and when (in terms of time) for security protection from organized criminals. The answer to the first of these issues should be included in the normative and theoretical sphere of the subject of security, which, in fact, must constitute a binding order and the ongoing task of all state and community resources for professional practical action to protect the security of the facility organized crime. The definition of organized crime can be considered as the important content (section, part) doctrinal and theoretical sphere of the subject of security and guidance for the proper anticriminal treatment of all its resources. Since the presented definitions of organized crime threat to overestimate the role of the subject (mandatory and variable requirements or necessary conditions for the existence of organized crime), and unjustly overlooked two other elements of the concept of security (in fact, national security, because organized crime is a typical non-armed form endangering state security), defining the notion of organized crime can not be sustainable (properly) if it does not contain the necessary facts about the facility security (vital state value) and the subject security (state).
