Organized Ethnic Crime as a Threat to National Security

The purpose of this study was to study the formation of organized crime along ethnic lines. Organizations of criminal communities formed along ethnic lines are very popular. Such groups are formed according to nationality, uniting representatives of the same nationality. However, it is not the national composition of the persons in it that makes this group ethnic; the main feature of such a group is the national composition of the ruling elite. Thus, the creation of a group according to the indicated attribute makes it more cohesive and dangerous, and it is even easier to manage such a group than because representatives of the same nationality adhere to the same opinion on most issues and easily find a common language among them. Also, the advantage of such a group is the absence of conflicts on ethnic grounds, and all their relationships are subject to national traditions and are built on mutual respect. Groups created on the basis of ethnicity pose the greatest threat to national security for a number of reasons. The main one is hatred towards other nationalities and nationalities. Thus, society is in danger, due to the fact that every person with a different nationality can become the target of one or another ethnic group. He can be kidnapped for ransom, tortured, sold into slavery or for organs on the black market, or simply killed for fun. It has been established that organized criminal groups have existed and continue to exist, and it is necessary to fight against them, it is necessary to destroy them and bring their members to justice. If we want our country to develop in all areas - science, education, development of law and many others, then it is necessary to conduct a purposeful and systematic struggle against everything that hinders the prosperity of the country and the well-being of law-abiding citizens.
