Law enforcement and Organized Crimes

Introduction

The primary concern of this paper is to assess the relationship and emerging problems from the relationship between organized crimes and law enforcement policies. Organized crimes are one of the significant and ugliest threats to a country, its security and nation. As the life goes on and moves towards the advanced level of globalization, organized crime has become common and evolving in USA at a rapid pace. Earlier organized crimes took form of drugs, mafia groups', murders, smuggling and trafficking offenses, but today organized crimes have taken a severe form of terrorism. It is considered as one of the biggest hazard and threat to the USA's energy and financial sector that can result into corruption amongst public officials (Finklea. M. K., 2010).

The participants of organized crime require money to execute their plan and motivate the American public officials inclusive of corrupt law enforcement bodies to assist them in breaching USA's security system and provide relevant and significant set of information to terrorists. Therefore, monetary incentives play a great role in weakening the efforts and policy affects of Government to combat crime. The same factor and lack of resource in Agencies hinder USA to improvise its law enforcement structure (Finklea. M. K., 2010).

Law enforcement bodies inclusive of courts and justice system is liable for investigating and planning actions to combat organized crimes by providing training both physical and technical in nature.

Problems in Policies of Law Enforcement Bodies pertaining to Organized Crime

As per analysis, the reasoning behind ineffective strict policies implemented and followed by officials to fight organized crime is the bond between terrorist groups and corrupt public sector officials along with illegal activities carried out by illicit business sector. Both of the public and business sector's support in this regard results in proper functionality of crimes due to adequate level of assistance in monetary and informative terms.
