The first paper reviews the nature of organized crime and its close connection to white-collar crime. The prime investigative importance of the money trail in uncovering large scale fraud and malfeasance is emphasized, as is the need for a concerted national enforcement effort. The second examines assumptions underlying the prevailing law-and-order strategies for controlling organized crime as it relates to drug trafficking. The need for policies centering on the dynamics of the drug market and social control is urged. The third paper addresses the difficulties posed by the sanction of confiscation of illicit profits (forfeiture). It is suggested that this widely adopted approach to dealing with organized crime carries with it much potential for abuse and injustice. A framework for policy and law is proposed that safeguards against this potential for injustice. Discussions of the issues raised in these three papers are included. Footnotes.
