Transnational Organized Crime

    Though Japan is perceived to have a low crime rate, there is a group that is known as the YAKUZA an elected group with power as they work for the government. Urban street gang policed their own neighborhood and it is believed that they were paid by the Feudal Lords so that they could offer laborers. There is currently no mutual relationship between the yakuza and the Japan police officers. Therefore there has been a rise in the police violence against the yakuza with intensified raids of the yakuza officers as well as the yakuza businesses. This has resulted in an increase in the arrest of the seniors rather than the street level gangsters and a raise in the abstraction of the yakuza profits. This has resulted in security instability in Japan as they yakuza eradication policy has been strongly advocated for while there is a strong rebellion and campaigns from the anti-yakuza has been implemented. Organized crimes therefore in the US are no longer an issue to do with the mafia but rather the FBI is tasked with the role of looking at these organized crimes (Madsen 2009).

    Cybercrime is rapidly growing in the sector of crime.  Criminals are largely exploiting the speed, convenience as well as the obscurity of the internet so as to be able to consign to a varied range of criminal actions that has no borderlines. The society concern about these crimes is significant to them since there is no impact on the individual. Another reason as to why the concern is not taken seriously is the fact that when these crimes are reported by the news the offenders are majorly unidentified and thus are living in an alien nation out of the hands of the US bureaucrats.
