(Re)definition of a Criminal Group in Slovak Legislation as a Means of a More Effective Fight against Organised Crime

Summary/Abstract: We consider organised crime to be one of the most dangerous types of criminal activity. At the same time, it is one of the most significant problems in the globalised world, in which this phenomenon took root in people's consciousness hand in hand with progress. Organised crime significantly threatens a democratic society and violates the basic human rights and freedoms of its inhabitants. The main motive for committing organised criminal activity is a deliberate, long-term and purposeful effort to achieve maximum profit or other benefit, regardless of the means used. Committing a criminal activity is therefore not a goal, but a means to achieve the set goal. Organised crime is classified as a type of crime characterised by a more sophisticated way of committing criminal activity than other types of crime. With the above in mind, we believe that ensuring protection against organised crime is currently one of the biggest challenges both from a social and legal point of view.
