globalize USA article date December 2010 A racket is an illegal business, usually run as part of organized crime . Engaging in a racket is called racketeering . Several forms of racket exist. The best known is the protectionracket , in which criminals demand money from businesses in exchange for the service of protection against crimes that the racketeers themselves instigate if unpaid see extortion . A second example is the Numbers game numbers racket , a form of illegal lottery . Traditionally, the word racket is used to describe a business or syndicate that is based on the example of the protectionracket and indicates a belief that it is engaged in the sale of a solution to a problem that the institution itself creates or perpetuates, with the specific intent to engender continual patronage. One example is computer spyware that pretends to be detecting infections and offers to download a cleaning utility for a fee, being itself distributed by the maker of the cleaning utility. In the example of a protectionracket, the racketeer informs a store owner that a substantial monthly fee will be required in exchange for protection. The concurrent protection provided takes the form of the absence of damage inflicted upon the store or its employees by the racket itself. The term racketeering was coined by the Employers Association of Greater Chicago Employers Association of Chicago in June 1927 in a statement about the influence of organized crime in the Teamsters union. ref David Witwer, The Most Racketeer Ridden Union in America The Problem of Corruption in the Teamsters Union During the 1930s , in Corrupt Histories , Emmanuel Kreike and William Chester Jordan, eds., University of Rochester Press, 2004.
