Systematization of Integrated and Development-Centric Approach in Response to Organized Crimes

In proportion to the modern examples of organized crimes, in criminological studies, new approaches to more systematic combat against these crimes have been put forward. In regard to certain scientific reasons, it can be realized that development-centric initiatives in response to organized crimes regarding transnational studies should be taken into considerations. Therefore; This kind of approach can be used as a tool by which organized crimes would be seen as a negative factor affecting trade, politics and society and this macro look will cause this phenomenon and those reactions and effective measures related to their reduction be recognized better. Therefore; attention and measurement of organized crimes solely as a criminal phenomenon, regardless of its impacts on economy, politics and different sidelines of society, means inefficacy of every approach proposed and implemented against these crimes. In international criminological literature, this kind of approach is called development-centric so that it can go beyond the existing traditional approaches and create a stage for the most comprehensive solutions. While this article proves that security or justice-based strategies will not be able to succeed per se, it believes that even development-centric strategies will not achieve much success if used in a standalone and one-dimensional manner against organized crimes. Anyway, these strategies can be considered as long-term and sustainable solutions for some of the most conspicuous challenges related to organized crimes which can prevent the future effects of this crime on vulnerable victims while drastically mitigating organized crimes.
