How to Deal With Organized Crime

Despite the popularity of "The Godfather" and "The Sopranos," organized crime isn't entertaining. It corrupts vertically and laterally, drawing politicians and law enforcement into a web of criminality. Dealing with organized crime is essential to the maintenance of a lawful society and cannot be put off. Follow these steps to learn how to eliminate organized crime.

Instructions

1. Identify the criminal activities and the criminal syndicate. The concept is close to reverse engineering: once you've identified the source of the crime, you can trace the process backwards to its players and components.

2. Learn the limits of your laws. Different societies deal with organized crime in different ways. Governments are restricted by their own laws, so it's important to understand the limits of the law in order to determine methods.

3. Contact federal agencies. Often times, local law enforcement is under-equipped and too restrained by law to effectively confront organized crime rings. It's important to involve federal agencies that have the manpower and experience to deal with organized crime.

4. Make the fight a partnership of multiple groups. It's not enough to just have federal law enforcement agencies fighting organized crime. There needs to be a synergy between federal and intelligence agencies and cooperation on the part of national, local, media and community groups.
