Organised criminality and the constitutional state

Abstract

A general characteristic of all human activities is the tendency towards greater organisation. One may note that this trend is also present in criminal activities. This article tackles this issue, placing special emphasis on specific problems regarding the definition of liability and the techniques of verification and criminal punishment with regard to forms of criminal organisations. A systemic approach is proposed, by means of which a substantial solution could be found to the problem of enforcement. A historical background of the formation of the law concerning the protection of public safety and the security of the state is also given.
