    A racketeer is someone who makes money from crime, usually as part of a group, not a one-off theft. The usual picture is a person who runs a : an illegal business that may look half-legal — 'protection' money from shops, illegal gambling, a union, organised fraud. The word is American, from the early 20th century, and still sounds a bit like old newspapers, though police and lawyers still use it. You can also use it as a verb: to racketeer. It is not the word for a petty thief or a teenager who ; it points to repeated, organised crime for profit.
