Aboriginal-based organized crime (ABOC) is a term used to refer to Canadian criminal organizations which have a significant percentage of Aboriginal members. These organizations are primarily found in the prairie provinces but mostly in Winnipeg, Manitoba the Gang Capital of Canada, which tend to have areas with high concentrations of people of Aboriginal descent.〔 〕 ABOC is an important national monitored issue, as defined by Criminal Intelligence Service Canada. The Prairie Provinces have around 200 different gangs; almost all are aboriginal gangs, including over 80 gangs in Manitoba alone. ==Unique features of aboriginal gangs== • Aboriginal gangs will often use aboriginal art and culture and add it to the gang (bearclaws are often used etc.). • Support and Facilitation: ABOC-classified organizations typically support and facilitate the actions of other groups, usually larger and well organized crime groups, such as the Helontaneous, and disorganized street-level criminal activities, primarily low-level trafficking of marijuana, cocaine and crack cocaine and, to a lesser extent, methamphetamine. The gangs are also involved in prostitution, breaking and entering, robberies, assaults, intimidation, vehicle theft and illicit drug debt collection".〔 • Aboriginal recruitment: Recruitment typically takes place from aboriginal populations in larger centres, correctional facilities and from First Nations.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aboriginal-based organized crime」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
