There are different theories of organized crime. The first one is the queer ladder of mobility theory that states that organized crime was a means to accumulating power and money. There is also the social control theory that says that family, community and social bond will either encourage or prevent entry into a life of crime for an individual. It continues to state that fear of embarrassment, punishment and psychological restraints will restrain people from engaging in organized crime. Organized crime has organizing principles and a definite structure to retain control and grow.
A traditional organized crime family is hierarchical, with individuals serving in the roles of leader, supervisors, or workers. The more modern organized crime groups sometimes have shared leadership. They might also involve a loose confederation of groups working together to commit crimes (Osterburg & Ward, 2007, p. 617).

Planning a Crime and Committing the crime
This is an opionion question and is not allowed on WikiAnswers, but I will answer it in my opinion. A gang is a formed group. Forming a group is an organized act. Also any crime which is done in concert (that is, with the assistance of another or more persons) is also an organized crime. So if you commit a crime on behalf of a gang, it is an organized crime.
Yes. Both New Orleans and Florida have notorious organized crime families.
