ORGANIZED CRIME AND CORRUPTION AS FACTORS OF INTERNAL SECURITY THREATS

Journal Title: Knowledge International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 25, Issue 1

Abstract

The paper reviews the definitions of the concept of organized crime: legal, official and theoretical; of the emergent forms of this crime from the aspect of the manner of organizing the perpetrators of criminal activities and from the aspect of the type and content of those activities, with particular reference to corruption in the state’s organs. The authors believe that the great presence of organized crime in the social pathology of the Macedonian society imposes the need for immediate and precise definition of this term with a special provision as a separate criminal act in the Criminal Code. Organized crime is a serious attack on the stability of the legal order, which in fact constitutes by the constitution and the laws established organization order of the state. Mass organized crime in society means a massive violation of the constitution and the laws of the state. Respect for the constitution and laws means a situation of organization and order in the state. In contrast, their massive violation is a mass disruption of organization and order. The massive disruption of organization and order leads to a high degree of disorganization in the state as an organization of citizens. In conditions of disorganization, the citizen does not feel secure. Security is the basis of freedom as an absence of misgiving and fear for the future. Only the citizen who feels himself safe is free, who does not fear for his life, his existence, his property, for the life, the property and the livelihood of his family members. The connection of the government with organized crime produces nationalism and extreme radicalism. Criminalized ruling sets in order to keep as long as possible the ruling position in society apply the principle of divide et impera (separate and rule). In doing so, the government strives to control divisions and confrontations in order not to allow them to turn into ethnic or religious conflicts that would jeopardize its survival. But divisions and confrontations are a dangerous phenomenon. They can easily get out of control and thus jeopardize the survival of the state. The concluding statements state the measures that the social community should take on the prevention of organized crime.
