PhD student @SchulichLaw. Understanding the complexity of Organized Crime is the key to managing the problem - so let's build that understanding!

#OrganizedCrime is a complex problem. The better you understand it, the more tools you realize are needed to fit the different forms and aspects. #Complexity

Police operations led to the capture of hundreds of ’Ndrangheta members in May. Though Italy’s ’Ndrangheta is one of Europe’s foremost cocaine trafficking groups, these arrests are unlikely to hamper cocaine arriving to the continent.

Identifying criminal opportunities and taking preventive action is crucial. By warning the public about the risk of #scams like this, the illicit gains can be reduced, which in turn reduces the incentive for profit-driven crimes.
Good job @HfxRegPolice 👍🏻

Canada tries yet again to deport alleged top Toronto Mafia boss back to Italy, something it’s failed to achieve for 40 years. My latest: https://t.co/SxyrS60GK8

@RobCurrieMusic With limited ability for holding those responsible criminally accountable, prevention and disruption seem like the only viable options. Authorities must think outside the box on this one.
This guy has good ideas and some successes:

So, I was tracing down a crypto exchange in Russia and a securities trading firm it owns, and found the trading firm’s CFO lives in Vancouver. Of course he or she does; what better place to have someone move money from Russia to the US. All roads of crypto lead to Canada.

#MoneyLaundering is a #complicated #crime to detect and prove. It's unacceptable that those who get caught can start again, with the SAME BRAND NAME, after learning from their mistakes. What this article describes is embarrassing for authorities, who must act swiftly and firmly.

The HA, as an organization, built a hard-earned reputation for violence and disregard for the community's rules. Thus, society must take decisive action against the entire organization when members commit violence. Holding the individual accountable doesn't address the problem. 2

[Bjarni @complexityofOC]

The HA maintains its fierce reputation as a #CriminalOrganization with this kind of public display of violence and intimidation. The cost of doing business is that occasionally someone must take the rap. So, do these arrests harm or benefit the HA in the grand scheme of things? 1

"In my view, Canada would be within its rights, given the history of [Diab's] case, to suspend the Canada-France extradition treaty altogether," Currie said. He also recalls how, last year, France refused to extradite Johannes Rivoire, accused of sexually abusing Inuit children.

Interesting comparison 🤔
Arguable one approach seems smarter.

[Jerry Ratcliffe @Jerry_Ratcliffe]

“Europe spends five times as much of its GDP on policing as on prisons. America, meantime, spends a mere 1.5 times as much on policing as on prisons.”
Fewer prisons, more cops? ✅ https://t.co/5vB9sEzaNa

Belgian judge Mr. Claisen highlights a disturbing trend: Organized Crime is getting richer and more powerful, while our efforts to fight back seem ineffective. It's time to stop treating this #complex problem like a simple issue

A long-awaited moment has come. Today ⁦⁦@ICC⁩ issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes in #Ukraine 🇺🇦
Sadly, the prosecutor has evidence to support what we have heard about illegal abduction of children from #Ukraine to #Russia 🇺🇦 https://t.co/SLc98ERSno

This is an insightful thread by a knowledgeable pracademic. Police strategies should focus on reducing opportunities and proactively addressing the underlying causes of crime that the police can impact. Rather than reactively respond to the symptoms of the problems #complexity

[Jerry Ratcliffe @Jerry_Ratcliffe]

With a click-bait headline - that I'm sure Patrick Sharkey didn't write - his latest piece asks us to look to the long-term view. Via a dig at @Abt_Thomas in there, the blame lies with "extreme, persistent segregation by race, ethnicity, and income"

A lawyer in BC knowingly filed a false affidavit. One of the most serious things you can do wrong as an officer of the court because the administration of justice (for everyone) relies upon lawyers being trustworthy to courts. https://t.co/vFcEZ0zPKf
