CHALLENGE OF ORGANIZED CRIME TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, AND THREATS WHICH MUST BE ANTICIPATED BY BUSINESSMEN.
Abstract
ORGANIZED CRIME IS AN EXISTING THREAT TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. THE DESKBOOK ON ORGANIZED CRIME COMMENCES WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERITY OF THIS CHALLENGE AND FOLLOWS WITH MAJOR ORGANIZED CRIME POINTS OF PENETRATION THAT MUST BE ANTICIPATED BY BUSINESSMEN. ALSO NOTED ARE SYMPTOMS THAT WILL WARN AN ALERT MANAGER TO PENDING TROUBLE, AND PHONE NUMBERS OF AGENCIES WHICH COULD BE EXPECTED TO ASSIST FIRMS BEING PLAGUED BY ORGANIZED CRIME. THE FINAL SECTION OF THIS PAMPHLET OFFERS A PLAN OF ACTION THAT WILL MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO THESE THREATS IN ADDITION TO A BLUEPRINT FOR COUNTERATTACK. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
