Relationship between Strict policies and Organized Crimes

Organized crimes are the source of essential threats to economy, nationwide security, and other significant interests of United States. With the increasing pace of globalization, organized crimes have taken new faces and easy routes towards USA. Previously the issue organized crime was only pertaining to drugs, mafia groups', murders, smuggling and trafficking offenses but now it is considered more relevant towards the concept of terrorism and war against it. These criminals may affect USA's energy and financial sector, provide necessary support to terrorists to harm USA, spread corruption in USA's public officers and many more (Finklea. M. K., 2010).

These policies must incorporate targeting large organized crime threats, reducing the leadership of these organizations, gathering information from all available resources, and must form unity among forces involved in crime fighting. Lacks of these factors make policy and tools weak to fight against crime.

It is considered as one of the biggest motivation for organized crime groups to breach USA's system and handover all the essential information to terrorists in order to attack USA. 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).

The business sector and public sector prove to be supporting the functionality of these groups by providing them basic necessities and improvised sources to conduct their activity. All of this has become possible due to the open border or global impact of transactions in the world. These loop holes are found in almost every country facing organized crime threats. In addition, the detailed problem lies in the control, check and balance structure of public and civil sector (Potter. G. & Mastrofski. S., 1987).
