FIVE POTENTIAL STRATEGIES ARE SUGGESTED TO BE USED IN ATTACKING THE ORGANIZATION OF ORGANIZED CRIME AS WELL AS ITS INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS.
Abstract
AFTER DEFINING THE STRATEGIES-SUBVERSION, ALIENATION, DISRUPTION, PENETRATION, AND BLOCKING-THE ARTICLE PROVIDES THREE EXAMPLES OF THE USES OF SUCH METHODS IN ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROL. THE AUTHOR EMPHASIZES SOPHISTICATED PLANNING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RESOURCES, BASED UPON A BROAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTENTIONS AND CAPABILITIES OF THE ADVERSARY. HE FEELS THAT GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES MUST BE FLEXIBLE, SUSTAINED, AND GROUNDED IN EFFECTIVE INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
