To me, it seemed pretty clear that they were talking about raids. Plus, bandits don’t really do protection rackets. The name is misleading, I say "protection" but the truth of any "protection" racket is that it is not required that the person "protect" anything, all it really boils down to is "Party A goes to party B demanding payment or ELSE", this can cover a vast swath of slightly different legitimacy;


 * the most legit actually defending their wards from certain other groups, which generally is limited to other criminal organizations, this is the standard "mob" usage of the terminology.


 * the least legit will ONLY "protect" you from themselves, and by this I mean not just murder you, this is what Raven does and how her tribe lives.
