Dominant models of criminal organizing

Abstract

Organized crime accomplishes efficiency in realization of criminal intents by using expert knowledge and certain criminal and legal methods, and by adjusting the structure of criminal organizations to specificities of global and local surroundings. In contemporary conditions, criminal structures are based on organizational models which enable them greater professionalism and efficiency. These organizational models are most often constituted on functional and market principles, building criminal nets adjusted to the needs of operations in criminal market and in legal economic flow. Basic differences in criminal organizing in relation to the traditional forms of criminal organizations are manifested through: dynamism, adaptability and flexibility of criminal structure; qualification for global acting, use of modern technologies and expert knowledge in criminal activities and use of legal business structures in realization of criminal goals. The paper attempts to point to different structural models of criminal organizing and to define dominant alternative models of criminal organizing. By getting to know specificities of particular types of criminal organizing, we can choose methods for efficient fighting against their destructive effects.

Efikasnost u realizaciji kriminalnih namera organizovani kriminal ostvaruje korišćenjem ekspertskih znanja, izvesnih kriminalnih i legalnih metoda i prilagođavanjem struktura kriminalnih organizacija posebnostima globalnog i lokalnog okruženja. U savremenim uslovima kriminalne strukture su zasnovane na organizacionim modelima koji im omogućavaju sve veću profesionalnost i efikasnost. Ovi organizacioni modeli najčešće su ustrojeni prema funkcionalnom i tržišnom principu, gradeći kriminalne mreže koje su prilagođene potrebama delovanja na kriminalnom tržištu i u legalnim ekonomskim tokovima. U radu je pokušano da se ukaže na različite strukturne modele kriminalnog organizovanja. Bez pretencioznosti da se navedu svi organizacioni modeli, težilo se definisanju dominantnih alternativnih modela kriminalnih grupa. Spoznajom specifičnosti pojedinih tipova kriminalnog organizovanja omogućava se izbor metoda za efikasnije suprotstavljanje njihovom destruktivnom delovanju.
