Scholars have suggested several ways of better controlling
organized crime than were discussed in the unit. If you were
given the task of controlling organized crime, what would you
choose to do (you can discuss some of the ideas from scholars
or your own ideas)? Why do you think this would reduce
organized crime?
I believe people engage in organized crime because for them it is easier
for them to adapt to that rather than a normal job. Or maybe even a
normal job just didn’t cut it for them. Therefore, to reduce organized
crime, the job market must be fixed. Everyone knows how hard it is to find
a job and it’s only getting harder. The work people put in to go to college
for 4 years and not be able to find a job based on that education just isn’t
cutting it anymore.

Why do you think people steal from their employers? Do you
think that taking home small, inexpensive items from an
employer is acceptable? Why or why not?

I don’t believe stealing is acceptable at all. Having someone pay for things
and then to have someone just take it for free frustrates me and angers
me, especially from employers. You have the job that you’re making
money with, why do you need to steal? Perhaps for them they feel like
their payment isn’t enough for them, they feel the need to steal.
