This guide presents details on Romani organized crime. The Romani people migrated from India to Europe around 1000 A.D, and later emigrated to America. The author contends that the organized criminal element within the Romani ethnic group is commonly referred to as Gypsies and are mainly involved in nonviolent criminal activity. The author stresses that, as with most ethnic-based organized crime groups, only a small percentage of the Romani community are involved in criminal enterprises. Therefore, it is vital to focus on the crime and criminal organization during any investigation to avoid stereotyping or slandering the Romani community.
