WRITING- POLICE AND CRIME

The danger of organized crime

 Nowadays organized crime is one of the concerned topics. When you turn TV and watch a news program, you can get information about cases of murder. Some of them are organized crime related to “Yakuza” in Japan. Yakuza also earn money in illegal ways.

It is a very dangerous situation for citizens. In another words, groups which are against our society get strong and active. Two examples are going to show how danger organized crime is and the hint to solve this problem will be produced.

 First one is Yakuza in Japan. Yakuza is a gangster in Japan. There are some groups of yakuzas such as Yamaguchigumi,Sumiyoshikai and so on. Yakuza have their territories and they get fees called “mikadukiryou” from people who do business in their territories.Yakuzas also lend money. In addition, bad yakuza groups deal with drugs and they have strong money bases. The bad yakuzas are fierce and fight with another yakuzas for making their territory bigger. Sometimes general citizens are killed by accident and the our society get threatening. Yakuzas may have bad effects on us.

 Second one is mafia in Italy. Mafia is made up of many members and their main business is selling drug. They earn a lot of illegal money. By using their illegal property, they have stronger power than political organization. For example, Napoli is one of dirtiest cities in Italy and this area is not safe. Napoli is not under control of politic organization. This means that our safe lives are not guaranteed.

 It is possible to say that these two examples show us the danger of organized crime. Then, the organization which is against organized crime is needed. The good one is SOCA in England. SOCA stands for Serious Organized Crime Agency. The Agency was formed following a merger of the National Crime Squad, the National Criminal Intelligence Service (elements of which were incorporated into AVCIS), the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU), the investigative and intelligence sections of HM Revenue & Customs on serious drug trafficking, and the Immigration Service's responsibilities for organized immigration crime. According to BBC news, The board directed that around 40% of its effort should be devoted to combating drug trafficking, 25% to tackling organized immigration crime, around 10% to fraud, 15% on other organized crime and the remaining 10% on supporting other law enforcement agencies. We can understand that making a national organization against organized crime is very important. Japan should think about making the organization and protection from bad gangster groups.

 In conclusion, recently gangster groups have stronger power than they did and we have to think about it. It is worth thinking about the national organization which is against organized crime for each nation.

Fukuoka!

The sailing intercollege championship will be held from October 31th to November 4^th in Odo,Fukuoka. I came here yesterday. I practice sailing at Odo yacht harbor everyday. The harbor is regarded as Mecca from sailors. I really looked forward to sailing in Odo.

Odo is surrounded by mountains and islands, so the lay of land affects the directions of wind. This makes the sea condition characteristic and difficult. We have to become sensitive.

By the way, Odo has many good restaurants and “yatai”.Today I ate motsunabe. Motsunabe consisted by nira ,tohu,tougarasi and motsu.

 

It was very tasty and I could be warm by eating. I will try the another restaurant of motsunabe!

Neymar

I watched the soccer match  between Japan and Brasil. I like to watch international  goodwill matches  about Japan. After ending Word Cup 2014, Japan changed Zaccheroni to Aguirre about its own team boss. I was interested in the strategy which Aguirre would take. However,because Brasil was very strong, I could not find a new team  color of Japan and Aguirre's strategy. I was dissapointed about it. On the other side, I enjoyed watching the match that Brasil had many talented players and they made the game exiciting. Neymar was especially good. He scored 4 goals against Japan! I decided that I became a fan of him.

The sailing tournament

The sailing tournament named "Rokudaigakusen" was held on last Saturday and Sunday in Hayama. Keio,Waseda,Housei,Meiji,Rikkyo and Tokyo university joined the tournament.I am proud of a windy condition because races become simple in the windy condition. It was windy last Saturday and the typical north blew, so I was able to sail constantly and the result was good. However, the light wind blew last Sunday. In another words, the sea condition was unstable and  the powers of wind were cleary different in areas of sea. It was important that  a yacht sails on windy parts.Judging the wind condition depends on my eyes. I could not choose a good part of sea and I got a bad result. I had to  be careful in a light wind conditon. It is a theme which I must solve by the all Japan championship.

My favorite soccer team.

Hello!Today,I talk about  my favorite soccer team.My hobby is watching soccer games.My favorite soccer team is AC.Milan. AC.Milan belongs to Seria A. It is a hitorical and big team. However,Milan was clearly bad last season.Milan had a financial problem and Milan sold expensive good players such as Ibrahimović and Thiago Emiliano da Silva to other clubs. As  a result, Milan lack the quality of having power over games and was it was impossible for Milan to win the games.  Keisuke Honda, a Japanese Super Star, joined  Milan in winter,but he does not play well because of that bad team condition.By the way,how is Milan this season? Milan has a new boss Inzagi and he makes Milan strong.Honda also kepps good condition and very active.I enjoy watching Milan's game this season!
