Значај међународних и домаћих докумената и стандарда у превенцији и сузбијању организованог криминалитета
Significance of International and National Documents and Legal Standards in Preventing and Combating Organized Crime

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the authors point out to the significance and development of crime prevention, particularly in the field of organized crime, as an important factor in providing social security. In many cases, the organized crime activities provide some services and benefits which, in spite of being strictly prohibited, are the sources of the perpetrators’ welfare and comfortable everyday life. The organized crime has entered many areas of legitimate business transactions, for which reason the “cooperation” between the organized crime and the legitimate civil society is regarded as a common phenomenon. Considering the presence and ongoing activities of the organized crime, the price that the society is paying is almost immeasurable not only in terms of material damage, loss of individual property and human lives but also in terms of the huge financial assets which have been invested by the society in pursuit of combating and uprooting the organized crime or, at least, keeping it under control. The authors examine the most significant documents adopted by international organizations and the relevant provisions contained in the Serbian legislation on this issue in an attempt to point out to the wide structural framework as well as the comprehensive normative framework in the field of preventing and combating organized crime.
