%ORGANIZED CRIME 781003
Organized crime is a perverse organization of
normative elements of a technocratic society:
objectification and manipulation of people, preoccupation
with possessions and power, affirmations of competition,
conditional affirmations of people, encouragement of
secrecy, focus upon doing rather than being, definitions
of "in-group" and "out-group". Conventional technocratic
behavior combines these elements in one way, organized
crime combines them in a different way. So long as the
elements are respected and honored in a community, some
creative people are bound to combine them in
unconventional ways which affirm the elements of the
technocratic society in an unconventional way. The essence
of the technocratic society is to affirm the elements of
the technocratic society. The technocratic society is
lacking in any principle, power, or spirit of balance
which might point the way to humane introduction of the
missing aspects of a loving society---and to a holistic
union of a balanced mix of all essential aspects of a
community with integrity. The technocratic society is
characterized as much by what is missing, as by what is
present in its affirmations. Organized crime is a logical
expression of the elements of the technocratic society---
because of what is missing from the affirmations of the
technocratic society.
Technology will not provide techniques for coping
with organized crime because all the techniques may be
used equally well by both the representatives of the
formal institutional powers---and by the agents of
organized crime. The elements of the technocratic society
serve the purposes of organized crime just as well as the
respected leaders of the technocratic society. An
escalation of technology will not resolve the conflict; it
will only increase the costs of the conflict. Such an
increase in the costs of the conflict will profit the
providers of the techniques, but only in inhumane ways.
The inhumane ways may be highly valued by the providers---
and they may actively encourage an escalation of the
technology to fight crime.
The technology to fight crime includes mechanical,
electronic, institutional, and legal techniques---and at
times even religious technologies.
