Problems In Control Efforts
Inadequate Legal Structure
The existing law is inadequate as it
targets individuals and not the
criminal groups or criminal
enterprises.
Difficulties in Obtaining Proof
The witnesses are not willing to
depose for fear of their lives and
there is no law to provide
protection to the witnesses against
organized gangs.

Lack of Resources & Training

Most of the States face a resources
crunch and are not in the position
to spare adequate resources for
the criminal justice. The number of
police personnel posted in police
stations is inadequate with hardly
any training facilities existing for
the investigation.

Lack of Co-ordination
there is no agency to collect,
collate, analyse, document and
function as a central exchange of
information relating to
international and inter-state gangs
operating in India and abroad.
Similarly, there is no system of
sustained pursuit of selected gangs
at the national and State level.

Dual Criminality
Different nations have different
legal structures. A certain act may
be ‘crime’ in one country but not in
another. To illustrate, money
laundering is crime in USA and
several European countries but not
in India.
