Explanation:

White-Collar Crime: White-collar crimes are generally economic offences that are committed by people of high social status. They commit these crimes in their respective occupations. Examples are embezzling (stealing money from one's employer), insider trading, and tax evasion and other violations of income tax laws. Instance of corruption, bribery and large-scale scams fall in the category of white collar crimes.

Crimes against Morality: There are several crimes where there is no bodily harm or any kind of harm to the property as well. Yet, these Crimes are deemed as immoral activities and hence are unacceptable. Prostitution, illegal gambling, and illegal drug use are all examples of such crimes. Also, Crimes against morality are also called victimless crimes because more than often there is no complainant or victim and it is generally the State which takes suo motu cognizance of these offences.

Crimes against Persons: Crimes against persons (also called personal crimes) include murder, aggravated assault, rape, and robbery.

Organized crime is just not restricted to Mafias, as is shown in various movies and television series, but the term can refer to any group that exercises control over large illegal enterprises (such as the drug trade, illegal gambling, prostitution, weapons smuggling, or money laundering). Betting on sports, illegal sale of firearms and +awala transactions are all examples of Organized Crime.
