There are many cases and instances of organized crime in the streets of the United States of America and the world as a whole. The natures in which these crimes are organized dictate their qualification to be termed as organized (Christensen & Levinson, 2003)
There are many cases and instances of organized crime in the streets of the United States of America and the world as a whole. The natures in which these crimes are organized dictate their qualification to be termed as organized (Christensen & Levinson, 2003)
For instance, as happen in Italy and the United States of America, it is highly possible to find relevant authorities seeking help from the public after which they engage in crime with them and later take their lives. Similar activities have been reported to be rampant in several streets of the United States of America and the United Kingdom (Gale Encyclopedia of American Law, 2011)
In many situations, it has been established that professionals who have made crime part of their main activities or professions do organized crime acts. They are trained and highly skilled (Gandhirajan, 2004)
Other sections of the organized crime departments have resulted in regular lose of monetary accessibilities and transitions through the present technological systems of money transfers in the world. Moreover, it is evident that some other sections of the organized crime departments have resulted in complete surrender of lives and property by the people to the criminals without equitable actions being taken by the public (Greene & Gabbidon, 2009)
In most cases, organized crime activities happen without being noticed by the concerned personnel. Such crimes are called organized crimes in the society (Kelly, 1994)
Mexico contains one of the greatest organized crime activities and threats in the world. This is according to report that was unleashed by the United States department of justice (Lyman & Potter, 2011)
These deals ensure continuity of their businesses when they get to government. The effectual happening is a translational organized crime activity that will live to be remembered in many parts of the world (Mallory, 2012)

Marceline gives her consent, and the history indicates at fifteen she had undergone a psychological assessment using the DASS (Depression, Anxiety, Stress/Tension Scale) that has 42 items. The report indicates using the DASs scale with fourteen basic symptoms, in which Marceline responded to statements in the scale with a four point likert scale (Kaplan & Saccuzzo, 2005)
Organized Crime in Canada Each year, the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) creates an organized crime report to inform the public of organized crime activities and markets in Canada. The nature of such activity is evolving -- new threats, participants and policies spring forth each year (McIntosh, 2010)
The Criminal Code (467.1) of the CISC defines criminal organizations as those consisting of three or more persons within Canada or in outlying areas that exist only to commit serious offenses that result in their own material or financial benefit (Tusikov, 2009)
Many of the organized units also turned to technology to facilitate communication between individuals and groups, often resorting to disposable cellular devices that are untraceable in most instances (CISC, 2007). In 2008, the Canadian Anti-fraud Call Centre (CAFCC) reported over 10,000 identity theft and identity fraud complaints resulting in over $6M in losses (Lampe, 2008)
This report will focus on three major criminal activities -- identity theft, migrant smuggling and human trafficking, and illicit drugs -- and steps that law enforcement operations has taken in recent years to ensure the safety of the Canadian public. Identity Theft As early as 2005, Canada began to see rampant increases in incidents of compromised personal information (Katz, 2011)
Identity theft and identity fraud were the 2008 Feature Focus of the CISC organized crime report. That same year, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) launched a massive campaign to alert the public of taxpayer scams using phishing emails and postal letters requesting personal information, fraudulently on behalf of the CRA (Curry & Mongrain, 2009)
The costs, needless to say, have turned out to be quite considerable. And what does law enforcement have to show for over a decade of pursuing this new top priority? Aaronson's 2011 examination of terrorism-related arrests in the first decade after September 11 demonstrates that most of what has occurred is entrapment orchestrated by law enforcement itself -- statistically he offers that 48% of arraigned "terrorists" were "targeted by an informant," 31% were "nabbed via a sting" and 10% were "lured in by an informant who led the plot" (Aaronson 2011, 38)
In point of fact, the American and Mexican governmental attempts to contain Los Zetas have been miserable failures, but the most significant threat to the organization may have come from an otherwise unrelated group, one which indeed blurs the lines between organized criminal activity and terrorist activity, namely the "hacktivist collective" referred to as "Anonymous." The Guardian on November 2, 2011, reported that the loose affiliation of computer hackers had obtained substantial records that could be used to "expose collaborators with [the] cartel," which resulted in Los Zetas "hiring its own security experts to track the hackers down" (Arthur 2011)
bank notes across the southwest border annually as they seek to circumvent banking regulations and the suspicions aroused by large cash deposits, studies by federal officials, regulators and academics show." (Booth and Miroff, 2010)
The three noteworthy examples of domestic terrorism perpetrated on Americans by Americans all demonstrate their status as ideologically motivated terrorism, and also as far-flung outliers. But in each of these three incidents we can at least understand the motivation as being ideological and therefore solidly within a definition of what terrorism is -- even the Haymarket bombing, which may not have been perpetrated by anarchists but "likely as not a Pinkerton agent provocateur," would have had an ideological motivation of discrediting the anarchist movement (as a "false flag" operation of sorts) if it was not an anarchist-perpetrated act of terror (Green 2007, 230)
Since it began, both administrations who have waged it have expressly acknowledged its virtually indefinite - and thus unique - nature." (Greenwald 2012)
