Which of the following is a listed type of gang classification?

• A. Eco-terrorist networks
• B. Cartel/ DTO/ Mafia/ CCE
• C. Street-level community clubs
• D. National security task forces

Answer: (B)

Gang classifications are usually organized by the type of criminal organization and its activity. Cartels, drug trafficking organizations, Mafia families, and other criminal enterprise networks (often abbreviated CCE) are standard categories used by researchers and law enforcement to describe how these groups are structured and operate. That exact pairing—Cartel/ DTO/ Mafia/ CCE—reflects those common classifications. The other options describe groups that aren’t used as formal gang categories: eco-terrorist networks are activist groups, street-level community clubs are noncriminal organizations, and national security task forces are law enforcement/military collaborations, not gang classifications.
