Organized Crime
Response 1
Organized crimes are effective in impacting our lives in distinct ways as individuals have to be watched closely by parents or guardians. For example human trafficking is a crime in which organized crime is best known for and this therefore requires parents to be very careful with their children. Organized crimes influence us to pay higher taxes on services and goods because of cheaper prices which are likely to be associated from stolen products from suppliers. CCE and RICO particularly focus on organized crimes which involve organizations and groups which commit crimes and by associating the groups with the crimes they can then be charged (Benson, & French, 2008). The organizations have greater drugs holds which are found in almost each neighborhood.
RICO law was developed in the attempt of eradicating organized crime by determining sanctions and provisions in order to permit those that participate in organized crimes to be tried (Benson, & French, 2008). CCE is a law that targets traffickers who are involved in large scale trafficking of drugs as well as humans. The organization is known to be dangerous because they utilize violence and intimidation in controlling other organization (Benson, & French, 2008).
A RICO example is when several organisations’ member’s runs profits and drugs and the activities are spread within all the members to ensure that each one is involved in crime. A CCE example is when drug dealers who are in large position traffics drugs continuously across the world.
Response 2
Money laundering is associated with corrosive effects on the national financial system (Benson, & French, 2008). This is because it is linked to illegal profits and the criminals are effective in manipulating the national financial system which results in losses. The laws implemented currently are not effective enough in stopping crimes occurrences. This is because they require more resources and working individuals who work to combat crimes (Benson, & French, 2008). Communication within the agencies would help in stopping trafficking that is increasing rapidly.
