ソマリア、子どもの権利条約批准へ 残るは米のみ
2009年11月23日
【ナイロビ＝古谷祐伸】９１年から無政府状態で、戦乱の絶えないソマリアの暫定政府が採択２０周年を迎えた「子どもの権利条約（ＣＲＣ）」を早ければ年内に批准する方針を決めた。ＣＲＣは１９３カ国・地域が締約。ソマリアと米国だけが批准していない。・・・・
９０年に発効したＣＲＣは子どもの生存、発達、保護、参加の権利を盛り込んでいる。米国が批准していないのは、両親の子育てに国連が介入しかねないことへの懸念や反発が一部にあるためだ。

Police Struggle to Navigate New Gang Landscape
By RYAN BLITSTEIN
Published: November 21, 2009（NYT)
Gang violence as a percentage of total homicides has barely budged, however. Of the 384 killings in Chicago from January to October, nearly 36 percent were found to have a gang-related motive, according to police statistics.
During the same period last year, 37 percent of the city’s 442 killings were gang related, police statistics show.
In all, more than 60 percent of the killings this year have involved a victim or an offender with a known gang association or a gang-related motive. Police officials did not measure this statistic in 2008.
The superintendent and his team faced an intriguing new challenge. Past crackdowns by the police had created a shifting landscape in the world of street gangs; as an older generation of gang leaders was put behind bars, the sociology of gangs changed, spawning fragmentation and turf wars.
With no leadership to enforce discipline, once-petty arguments over dice games or girlfriends quickly escalated into violent and even fatal attacks, making enforcement particularly tough
The program does little to combat the deeply rooted social developments that give rise to the prevalence of urban gangs.
“You’ve had a war on gangs for 40 years,” Mr. Hagedorn said. “It’s the same basic kind of strategy.”
Mr. Weis’s approach relies in part on rallying the community against gang violence. But community resolve often wilts in the face of attacks like the one that ended the life of Denonte Williams. He was found dead on a sidewalk after a 3:20 a.m. drive-by attack on the South Side.
Shenicka Sturghil, the cousin of another victim killed by a street gang, expressed her despair at a South Shore community meeting last month.
“I’m paranoid, scared to stand at a bus stop,” Ms. Sturghil said. “I might get gunned down.”

Retail Industry Presses Congress to Pass Bills to Fight Organized Retail Crime
By Matthew Harwood
11/04/2009 -
Calls for Congress to act came during a teleconference organized by the Coalition Against Organized Retail Crime, which stressed how important federal law enforcement is to fighting organized retail crime (ORC) on the eve of a congressional hearing on the same topic.
The practice consists of gangs stealing large volumes of merchandise from retailers which they then turn around and sell at pawnshops, flea markets, and online marketplaces, like eBay.
“ORC is not what is commonly known as shoplifting,” said Frank Muscato, an investigator for the drug store chain Walgreens. “It is not opportunistic theft for merchandise like food, clothing, sundries, or music that are often stolen for personal use.”

Our View: Time to own up to the gangs problem
Threat posed by gangs is worse than publicity issues
NOVEMBER 22, 2009
Although the threat posed by gangs in the Salisbury area and across the Lower Shore is increasing, as evidenced by such recent incidents as a thwarted school bus shooting and a fight at James M. Bennett High School, the very notion that rural Delmarva could be having a "gang problem" can be difficult to grasp. It's more comfortable to live in denial about the issue, or worse, to begin to blame the messenger.
The fears are mostly valid. Gang members commit violent crimes, including murder. They also engage in drug trafficking, assault members of rival gangs and don't care who gets caught in the crossfire. They aggressively recruit new members, targeting children at surprisingly young ages.
Because of gangs, residents of affected neighborhoods live in constant fear. Many of them are more terrified of the consequences of "snitching" to police than they are of living with the gangs.
But most of that activity is limited to the vicinity where a gang is based or conducts business. Therefore, residents of quieter neighborhoods are not directly aware of the growth and spread of this societal cancer. Upon reading crime reports and news stories, they blame police and courts for being too lax and failing to contain this threat.
When the evidence becomes too much to ignore, such as recent incidents reported in the news, some people accuse the media of sensationalizing the threat. They respectfully request that the media stop making public the connection between their community and gangs, because once that word gets out, people might stop moving to the area and new businesses may choose to locate elsewhere as a result.
Salisbury's gangs are not yet fully matured into sophisticated and well-organized entities like those found in major urban centers like Chicago, Los Angeles or New York City. This alone is reason to jump on the opportunity to disrupt them before it reaches that point and becomes far more difficult to eradicate them. But that fact also makes it easier to deny their existence or the threat they pose.

Gangland slayings drive up Canada's murder rate
(AFP) – Oct 28, 2009
OTTAWA ― Gangland slayings pushed up Canada's otherwise declining murder rate by two percent last year, Statistics Canada said Wednesday.
The government agency said police reported 611 homicides in Canada in 2008, 17 more than the previous year.
The rise was "due almost entirely" to murders in western British Columbia and Alberta provinces, "much of which was gang-related," said the government agency.

Location, justice system, banks make Vancouver ideal place for crime: RCMP
BY FIONA ANDERSON, VANCOUVER SUNNOVEMBER 21, 2009
VANCOUVER - What makes Vancouver a great place to live is also what makes it a good place for crime, one of the Lower Mainland’s top cops told municipal representatives and others at the Vancouver Board of Trade’s Metro forum.
Vancouver is one hour from the United States, “the largest illegal drug-consuming nation in the world,” said Peter German, district commander for the Lower Mainland with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It has one of the largest ports for trade with Asia in the world, a large airport and excellent banks with branches around the world including offshore locations, he told the forum.
B.C. also has a liberal criminal justice system and a fairly liberal approach to illegal drugs. “On top of that we have a lot of diasporas, strong ethnic communities which make this a place we want to live [and] really make the Lower Mainland unique,” German said. “But we also have unique organized-crime trends in a lot of communities. And I include the Caucasian community because we happen to be home to five Hells Angels clubs, the largest number in one metropolitan area anywhere in the world,” he said.
バンクーバーは場所的にいっても、リベラル法制度からしても、組織犯罪にはうってつけの場所になってしまっている、と。
