1．Most of the criminal groups which appeared after l970’s were new social groups rather than the heritage-of the secret society in old China．The members were mainly assembled on the basis of common intentions of joint crime，so-called friendship and the assimilation of the surroundings. Obviously，they did not yet have clear intention of being organized at the very beginning，and just assembled step by step during the joint commitment of specific crimes．According to their offences，they may be divided into these types：a)groups desiring property；b)sexually desirous groups；c) groups of those spiritually barren.
a)The general characteristics of groups desiring property is to grasp money or other property illicitly．Criminals of this type have a common intention of making more fortunes through unlawful activities，so as to live a better life．They carry out actions of theft, swindling，forcibly seizing，frauding, smuggling，illicit speculating abducting and trafficking in human beings，thus disrupting public order and violating property owned both privately and pub1icly．The criminal groups of this type are as follows：theft groups，forcibly seizing groups，smuggling groups，illicit speculating groups，drug trafficking groups and abducting and trafficking in human beings groups，etc．Among them，drug trafficking groups，especially transnational drug trafficking and smuggling groups on the open sea are the most serious threats to the economic life and the public order of the country．
b)The sex criminals generally have common libidinous interests．They have a belief that the final aim of their living is to have sexual comforts．Therefore，they take all kinds of ways to rape women or violate the same victim in succession and to humiliate women or engage in other hooligan activities，so as to satisfy their abnormal sexual desire．The clear intentions of their criminal actions and successful experiences would further stimulate them to commit crimes jointly．Rape groups，hooligan groups certainly belong to this type．
