Raskol gangs are criminal groups in Papua New Guinea, primarily active in urban areas like Port Moresby and Lae. The term 'raskol' derives from Tok Pisin for 'rascal' and refers to gang members or criminals. Emerging in the 1970s, these gangs engage in armed robbery, carjacking, drug trafficking, and rape. They are associated with urban squatter settlements and high unemployment.
