THE ORGANIZED CRIME AS THREAT FOR THE MODERN SOCIETY (original) (raw)

The dissolution of the last European socialistic republics, Soviet Union and Yugoslavia meant creating new countries, some of them got their independence again. The new political state meant change of the priorities which were oriented on Euroatlantic integrations. It was a hard mission for the new countries to change their social order from socialistic into democratic. Right there, in the transition are placed the roots of the organized crime which is global threat. The prevention and the repression of the organized crime require multidisciplined treatment and global cooperation. Some of the European countries implemented sophisticated methods into the suppression of the organized crime while some of them still using classical and conventional methods which are not effective. The international cooperation is significant segment in the projection of effective strategy against the organized crime. There is no country in the world that can handle this global problem on its own because the organized crime does not recognize borders, spreading into the social-economic sphere of the countries. The fact that the organized crime is also aimed at the youth, proves once more that this type of crime is one of the greatest threats of the modern society.
