Summary/Abstract: Authors described the most important and influential major crimes organisations that are active worldwide. They’ve presented their genesis, structure, set of rules and traditions.. Authors identified as well areas of activities and main treats caused by the influence of organised crimes on economy both internal and international. Authors also focused their attention on reasons for social pahtologies in organised crimes, it’s dynamics and diversity. Writers have referred to the hypothesis, that they are very close ties between treats generated by organised crimes and terrorist groups. Critical analysis of literature conducted by the Authors leads to the point that there is a direct connection between groups that are committing crimes and groups perpetrating terrorist attacks. Authors analysed differences and similarities between terrorist and organised crime groups. They’ve proven as well that there is in fact cooperation between those two groups, pointing that sometimes they are even the same. Final conclusion of the article is that terrorist groups and organised crimes groups are transnational and leads to the point that fighting them has to be transnational as well. Fighting both of this groups cannot have any borders or limits unless it’s treating human rights.
