Assignment 2: Law Enforcement and Organized Crime
The mission of law enforcement agencies across the United States is to serve and protect. Many agencies use paramilitary tactics to address the crime problem that has affected the United States for the past fifty years. Some people wonder whether law enforcement is actually winning the war on crime. The initial focus of law enforcement was on drugs, but now, the focus is on organized crime. Some feel that the war is being lost, while others argue that the recent decline in crime is a direct result of get-tough policies. In this assignment, you will discuss the possibility of get-tough policies eradicating organized crime.
To complete this assignment, use your textbook and the Argosy University online library resources to identify specific measures taken by law enforcement agencies against organized crime.
