today. These create networks between their different branches and then go
about performing their so-called duties to the society in a negative fashion.
Mafias, gangs, triads and many more are just a few to be named as the well-
set organizations in today’s world who are organizing crimes, hiring people for
the same and then committing the evil through these people, mostly involving
the youth. These organizations are also quite diligent in spreading the use of
drugs and alcohol in the young blood. They operate in a secret capacity and
cannot be easily tracked down by the law enforcing agencies and the like. At
certain places or areas, these organizations have illegally and immorally
patched up with these agencies and the police departments to carry out their
heinous and atrocious evils in the society.
Civil and criminal sanctions within a society suggest the implementation of law
and other regimes and that there is absolutely no one who is above the rule of
law. This is pertinent since there have been a lot of instances where
individuals have taken the law in their own hands had gone about damaging
the social fabric within a country or region for that matter. The police
authortitiesnd law enforcement agencies must be on the watch out for these
individuals who seem to think that they are above the law and must be taken
to task so as to set a good precedent of law and order within a society. Civil
and criminals sanctions at least ensure that these people remain on alert as
concern to their illegal activities and they get to know about the existence of
law and order authorities who are keeping a constant check on what they are
planing to do so or have done in the recent past. Apart from this, there is a
need to make these people realize the importance of conforming with the law
regimes in place and getting their act right when it comes to complying with the
stated rules and laws as narrated by the societal norms and constitutional values.
These sanctions seem to stem out from the way in which people have
been brought up with the passage of time. A commoner in today’s society is
enticed every now and then toward newer and more fancy products and
indeed a similar way of life. For this, he wishes to have more money and if he
works , he expects his employers to pay him more than his actual wage. This
does not happen in the real world and eventually the youth with their hot
blood fuming inside, take up committing crimes and start earning instant and
lavish money. They believe this is their right and do not want to be left out on
any account when compared with any other superior individual of the society.
The wages for the low- skilled workers had its sudden decline in the early 70s,
which spanned over a period of 20 years, ending up round about in the early
1990s. This decline resulted in a drift, which changed the demographic
impact that was the basis of crime all these years as well as of the crack
cocaine effects of the 1980s, to name just a few. Crime is on the rise in the
world and studies and surveys suggest that the same will continue to do so in
the years to come. These rates have always been on the hill when a society is
a multicultural, industrialized and democratic one. Also , a new trend has set in
where the least crime affected nations have reported higher crime rates than
ever before, suggesting that there is something more to just wages and low
skilled workers’ salaries. Interestingly, these nations do include the most
economically feasible platforms for its countrymen. Crimes such as rape,
robbery, attack and assassinations for meagre sum of money has been on the
rise in less developed nations as well as the more sound and developed
nation like that of United Kingdom. These crime rates are on the downfall in
the country ever since economy has began to stabilize and people getting
what they strive for in every field of life. Similarly, street crime has been on
the decline as well for almost two decades now. There must be a method of
providing a solid basis of conformance and compliance with the laws and this
is only possible when there is an earnest desire to do the very same on the
part of the individuals.
White collar crime is one form of crime that is on the escalation
everywhere in the western world. It ranges from breach of trust in highly
technologically skilled societies to fraudulent charges and computer pilfering. It
has been estimated to continue for an indefinite period of time in the future
generations. This sort of crime is difficult to define and hence few countries
have been able to ascertain its origin, its perspectives and its rationale. This
one is literally very hard to describe and examine and equally harder to
enforce and arbitrate. The irony of white collar crime is that government and
the people in particular do not pay heed to its curtailment and if something for
the better is not done in this era, then it will surely become a super menace in
tomorrow’s age. Now it is up to the authorities as to how they curb the
menace of crime in a particular city, area or country and what steps they
undertake to ensure that the same does not happen again. If only these steps
are taken in the best manner possible, then there could be some light seen at
the end of the tunnel.
In conclusion it is a must that the world of today must respect the youth
and tries to encourage them so that they don’t act in a manner which is not
close to that of an uncivilised society. As good citizens, it is the duty of the
fellow countrymen to try their level best to eradicate the menace of mafias,
gangs and others. Youth should be encouraged more towards sports and
healthy extra curricular activities rather than using them for leaders’ political
movements. The world can only be a better place if the people are happy and
people are only contented and satisfied when they see their children and
toddlers bloom like flowers in every department of life. If the youth as well as
the adult offenders do not give up their acts for the betterment of the society
that they hail from and the world in which they reside, then surely they need
to be put behind bars and given rigorous punishments since it is significant to
nip the bud right at the very beginning. This indeed provides for a sound
rationalization of the civil and criminal sanctions that are imposed by the
society and the same need to be understood in a proper and adequate
manner by one and all. The end result must be one that goes towards the
improvement and enhancement of the society and the evil has to die all said
and done. Ensuring compliance and conformity with the law is surely
something that reaps rich dividends in the coming times.
