The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) legislation includes all racketeering activity.

Any illegal business operated for the purpose of personal profit is racketeering.
The following illegal activities may be considered racketeering:
- Murder
- Kidnapping
- Gambling
- Arson
- Robbery
- Bribery
- Extortion
- Dealing with obscene matter
