3．Looking through the development of those criminal groups and the harmfulness of their criminal activities，the criminal groups can be named：a)small delinquent group；b) criminal group; c) professional criminal group．
a)Small delinquent group refers to those who are influenced by social environment，family and unhealthy thoughts in social life，and just carried out their first illicit or criminal activities．This kind of the criminal group is somewhat loose and blind．The main members are those disappointing students and ne’er-d0-wells in the society．They often carry out most of their criminal activities just in their own districts and do little harm to the people compared with the other groups．But needless to say，they are the reserve forces of criminal groups later，and therefore，the hotbed for future criminals．
b)Criminal groups are naturally assembled by some of the above delinquents as they accumulated a wealth of criminal experiences and improved criminal techniques as they grew up．They would quickly form a sinister crew of new and old time criminals already existing in the society．
c)The professional criminal groups. After many times severe punishments and crack—downs，some criminals in criminal groups and some single ones would strengthen their intentions of committing crimes，accumulate criminal experience，and make criminal action as their profession．Meanwhile，their experiences tell them it is necessary for them to form an alliance to handle the situation． Then，they would take all chances and possibilities to ally and assimilate other criminals，thus to engage in organized crimes．This kind of criminal group is the highest level and the most harmful of all.
The harmfulness brought by the above three structures of criminal groups are increasing progressively，though their abso1ute numbers decrease by degrees from the low level stage of delinquent to the professional criminals．Therefore，if we are slack in our work of preventing and controlling，the situation would be a vicious circle of simultaneous increasing of the numbers of lower stage and higher stage criminal groups．
