How much better is corporate America than organized crime?

I don't know any organized crime lords, but my understanding is that they have a reputation for defending their own turf and the people who live under them.  By way of comparison, all of the corporate leaders I've seen care absolutely nothing about their people.

Depends on where you want to work!  FBI is hiring, so is NYSE

You've hit a nerve with me on this question as I'm currently dealing with just such a question.  Business is business and the number one priority is to provide a profit, however when corporate greed takes such a priority over even the most basic ethics, it has gone too far.  \n\nWe have discovered that Meineke Car Care knowingly sold a convicted sex offender (Rape) a franchise.  When contacted about this, they put in WRITING that they not only knew about his conviction but don't feel it's a problem because it happened in the 90's.  WHAT are these people thinking?  Doesn't a company have an obligation NOT to put their customers in the position on handing over their personal info & keychains or taking a ride home from a convicted sex offender?  Did the recent lawsuits about the attacks on a customer and employee at Walmart & McDonalds teach companies anything?  At least they had the luxury of not knowing the employees history. How could Meineke defend this?

usually, white collar crimes receive a lesser penalty than violent crimes. My personal feelings on how that differentiation is really messed up, a lawyer is absolutely the best person to consult on this matter.

I would say so . . if you can give me any good benefits to having organized crime in this world I would love to hear it. \n\nAll gangs do is go around pushing drugs, killing people, stealing everything . . I only wish they could see the negative effect they have on this world. \n\nNot to mention our youth wouldn't be so illiterate . .

as compared to our "normal" police force?\n\ncompare:  both are enlisted to control mobs and maintain order.\ncontrast:  a hired mercenary knows his trade.  Our "badge and gun" officers don't care.  Unfortunately, we have too many "badge and guns" walking their beat.

Well he invented the position of Attorney General then appointed his Brother to run it specifically to go after organized crime. Plus he did fire some pretty important people in the CIA,Dulles and his crew.  If Kennedy had his way we would probably be living in a much better and very different America today, but he died.

Yes many police department will see this as a plus.\n\nMost of the better departments will require a college degree. To get into the FBI you will have to have one. FBI would rather see an accounting degree, computer programing and simular degrees.\n\nEven within police departments, many are looking more at mangement degrees over criminal justice degrees,  but a degree for any advancement and gettinghired in a good department is almost a must.

In Canada it is the Hells Angels. But you would only know it if you were involved with drugs, illegal trade, etc. It's not like they are prowling the streets, running down citizens or something. They have the reputation of being a biker gang but nowadays they are often business men in suits. In addition to their drug trafficking and union business they also try to put up a nice front by organizing community and charity events. \n\nI think big business, like oil & pharmaceutical companies, are more powerful and evil! They have such a hold on our government and probably have the most power over legislation.

you might want to consider which organized crime group controls the neighborhood you want to open one in and get their input. They might have people on their payroll who can grease the wheels of beauracracy for you, and besides you will end up having to deal with them anyway.

Corporate crime usually refers to crime committed "by the corporation" as a separate entity.  Occupational crime refers to crimes committed by people as a result of their occupation (as in placement, not necessarily job) of some privileged place within an organization.

why does the local organized crime gang burn down a restaurant and then make the owner pay exorbitant prices to have crime family business rebuild it again? we destroyed their country and now iraqi oil and u.s. taxes will have to pay haliburton, bechtel and all their pals to build it again. nice trick, don't you think?

What makes you think its not also happening elsewhere, like almost everywhere that weak people think they need prohibition? Between drug war funding and corruption ("Operation Lively Green") there's too much money available [locally, $300,000 to let one load across the border] to agenda driven police, drunk with political power and feeling invulnerable. In the zone near the Mexican Border with Arizona, it only sounds like a joke when we say we can trust the banditos and smugglers more than Border Patrol, to behave as expected. The criminals are no threat to citizens, but the criminal behaviors and abuse of ranchers and citizens by 'authorities' have done more to inspire us to call this zone the "Gunbelt". We have tried to clean up corruption, but both the smugglers and the corrupted are protected by the cowards we trusted to protect us. Its a fearful situation now being repeated in communities across America, as the "police" did nothing for years to stop the illegal invasion of millions across the border. Now the "bite" 'morditas' is on everyone. We are honest, but go nowhere unarmed;We joined a posse, and got deputized in a citizens police oversight team authorized to do whats needed, up to and including the use of deadly force. We surround the corrupt cops, not the other way around. Truth and dignity, if not justice, will prevail.

The departed was a great movie, but a remake of a asian movie called the Internal affairs (2002). When I watched Internal affairs I thought what a great movie it was .. and how popular it would be if it was an american film with american actors .. I still think the original was better .. the suspense .. but I wasnt surprised when The Departed was also good. \n\nBest wishes..

Organized crime and drug trafficking are synonomous.\nIn today's drug trafficking everyone involved will eventually come under the control of organized crime,although drug trafficking is at its inception organized crime unto its own.\nOrganized crime, drug trafficking, and political protection are a scourge within our society that needs to be eliminated by each and every one of us.\nIdentify, report, and destroy, Aye!

None, It would not effect them in any way. We take oil now from Alaska and export it to Europe, best price. The energy companies wrote the legislation for republicans in Congress to rubber stamp. It's organized crime at it's Height.
