Alliances between organized criminal groups and terrorist groups are understudied relative to other crime-terror dynamics, and alliances between hybrid organized criminal groups and terrorist groups are virtually unstudied. This article compares organized criminal groups and hybrid organized criminal groups’ alliances with terrorist groups, employing the cases of the Camorra, D-Company, and the Albanian Mafia. It concludes that ‘pure’ organized criminal groups ally with terrorist groups solely for profit or survival, but that hybrid organized criminal groups, which mix profit and political motives, ally with terrorist groups for profit, survival, and ideological reasons. Finally, it offers thoughts on the future of the study of the crime-terror nexus.

相对于其他犯罪-恐怖活动，有组织犯罪集团和恐怖主义集团之间的联盟研究不足，混合有组织犯罪集团和恐怖主义集团之间的联盟几乎没有研究。本文使用 Camorra、D-Company 和阿尔巴尼亚黑手党的案例，比较了有组织犯罪集团和混合有组织犯罪集团与恐怖组织的联盟。它的结论是，“纯粹的”有组织犯罪集团与恐怖集团结盟只是为了利润或生存，但混合有利润和政治动机的混合有组织犯罪集团为了利润、生存和意识形态原因与恐怖集团结盟。最后，它提供了对犯罪与恐怖关系研究的未来的思考。
