Introduction
In our country, as in others in Latin America and the rest of the world, the problem of organized crime began to claim victims, because various groups want to have total control of a region or regions. The main theme of the present is to demonstrate that organized crime is a political, labor and moral problem. The organized crime problem in Mexico is due to the lack of ethics, social value and conformity of the current generation, also to different factors such as social inequality and the poor payment of wages to which Mexicans are subjected.
It is correct to affirm that the majority of serious crimes of international scope, committed for clear profit, are part of some transnational organized gang. Some of the activities most commonly associated with this area are human, drug and arms trafficking, product adulteration, money laundering, sale of animals and, more recently, attacks on large-scale computer systems. companies.
Background
To know a little more about its origins, let's go with its definition "Delinquency" (from the Latin delinquentia) is the quality of delinquent (a person who commits crimes and, therefore, violates the law). The term is also used to name the set of subjects who commit crimes and maintain conduct contrary to the law.
Organized crime is understood as when three or more people agree to organize themselves to carry out, permanently or repeatedly, behaviors that, in themselves, have the result of committing the crime of operations with resources of illicit origin, collection and trafficking of weapons; trafficking of undocumented persons, organ trafficking, assault, kidnapping, trafficking of minors and theft of vehicles, this in order to have a stable and comfortable life. (Ramírez, 2003)
Another term for this is:
“Criminal organization (organized crime) as any organization created with the express purpose of obtaining and accumulating economic benefits through its continued involvement in predominantly illicit activities and that ensures its survival in proceedings, operation and protection through the use of violence and corruption or confusion in legal companies ”(Corte Ibañez, 2010)
Organized crime, a problem on the rise
One of the most worrying aspects of organized crime is its ability to mutate to adapt to changing market trends, as if it were a virus that it avoids by all means Since it does not respond to any legal or moral framework, this business does not fear drastic measures, as long as they guarantee the continuity of its profits.
In addition to drug trafficking, which exceeds all other activities in terms of economic benefits (its annual value is estimated to be around 320 billion dollars a year), human trafficking is one of the most terrible crimes, since it consists of converting individuals of all ages into products aimed at labor and sexual exploitation.
The foregoing is applicable to the situation that exists in Mexico regarding organized crime, since people want to have an income but should make a choice using their reason more than their wishes. If Mexicans used their reason to get what they want, they would act looking for stable jobs, legal businesses, instead of kidnapping or trafficking people to collect ransoms of large amounts of money.
Crime is an aspect of social violence that increasingly afflicts Mexican society; For this reason, the population of Mexico demands greater attention to public security from the authorities of the government of the Republic, as well as local authorities. In the midst of public security, there is a great mistrust with the police forces since there are a large number of security forces that are involved in organized crime, this due to the magnitude of its economic power, being that of There they have a better income than the government pay for their services, because this work carries a great risk to the life of the police force. 3
Unfortunately, in the country it is very unlikely to evaluate the index of how far crime has reached, it has chosen to occur at all economic levels, many people who are victims of this evil, for fear that they will harm them or their family members do not come to report this being one of the reasons why those who belong to the bad class of Mexicans cannot be persecuted.
It has been tried, either directly or indirectly, to support Mexican society, with the reform of the laws, making it evident that due to the problems that the country is currently experiencing, one of the latest cases is the penalty of up to 140 years in prison to kidnappers "practically life imprisonment" this seeks to lead to a decrease in the rate of kidnapping in the country since this evil is not going to end overnight, hoping to reduce the number of victims and be able to raise national security a little.
Not forgetting that working for or in crime, you can be your own boss and earn what you want or can, making less effort and in less time than in a normal job, allowing one and their families to have some luxuries; if in Mexico there were higher incomes, the option of committing a crime and causing harm to society would be unnecessary. It is important to note that this is due to the political environment or rather the fact that some few people have the total power of the decision of a country, since due to the fact that we are in a capitalist country this will never change, the The poor will remain poor and the rich will remain rich.
One factor that has contributed to the growth of crime is the lack of work and poverty.
The fight against crime carried out through the army and violence will be useless, since they too, as they are classified as "organized", have a ladder starting with their ringleaders or leaders and descending to their shock groups against government forces even With weapons of more power than those of the army or police of any level, that is a great disadvantage that for the same reason they do not have an economic limit in terms of the weapons to be used to protect their assets or their activities that produce income and income. sustain their activities. Even organized crime, even if one does not want to see it on the bright side, is a company that employs people since many jobs and families depend on it.
Organized crime threatens the safety of people and animals, represents a space in which the basic rights of countries around the world are not respected. If we add corruption by certain rulers to this dangerous equation, the repercussions are truly terrifying.
conclusion
We can remain that organized crime in a company in constant expansion worldwide, generating jobs and billions of dollars or any other type of currency, being an "evil" that will never end and will always be in constant fight against the government for their livelihood.
Crime covers many markets, it does not distinguish between sex, it does not ask for an age limit, it does not make contracts and it produces too much money giving a lot of power to the people who lead it.
It is necessary for people in Mexico to have good jobs to foster a culture of determination and good values, which would lower crime rates.
