Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the impact of the RICO law (The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) on the fight against organized crime with the United States in the second half of the XX century. The main ways of influence of this legal act in the legal sphere of society were analyzed. The system of interaction and the structure of organized criminal groups has been investigated, historical information about the hunting of criminal groups before the adoption of the law and the results of combating organized crime after its introduction into legal action are also provided. First of all, the law focused on the top of the criminal gangs, and not on ordinary performers. The highest ranks influenced society through corruption schemes and influence in state bodies, thereby having a high aspect of countering mass crime in society.
