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.
