The Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs (OMC)

The Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs, or OMC, is a group of people with similar sets of ideas that apply their own sets of laws. The OMC have been around since the late 19th century and they do not consider themselves a gang or a criminal organization, instead they have a structure of an exclusive club because they gather individuals as a way to socialize and do similar activities together. For them, this family structure reduces the potential for intra-organization conflict. On the other hand, the American Mafia is not consider a family organization, instead they recruit individuals in order to expand financial revenue. Even though both groups are very dangerous and are involve in criminal activities, the OMC club believe they are not a criminal organization,
instead they say they are an organization of criminals because their members are the ones that commit the crimes not the organization itself, whereas The Mafia Organization commit crimes as an organization.
