Abstract

Considering the fact that all forms of organized crime, are extremely dangerous for each state and social system, it is essential that public authorities are constantly working on detecting, preventing and alleviating, or annulling the negative consequences caused by organized crime.

A prerequisite for the application of the concept of New Public Management to be successful is the activity that will through harmonized and coordinated actions of the legislative, judicial and executive authorities develop national capacities and resources to effectively fight against all forms of organized crime, especially against various forms of corruptive activities as an integral part of almost all forms of economic crime. All the aforementioned, should also aim at reducing the impact of the carriers of economic and other forms of organized crime in the structures of all levels of government.

Тaking into accountthe above mentioned, it is necessary to create the material and institutional basis that will, by applying contemporary scientific achievements and the necessary international cooperation in an unambiguous, continuous, legally regulated and financially secured way, perform in the long run all necessary activities aimed at minimizing the number of committed offenses of this type of crime , alleviating the consequences caused by the prevention of any possibility that the carriers of such offenses gain political power in society. For this purpose it is necessary, besides the constant preventive work, to make sanctioning of the perpetrators of such crimes more rigorous, and to insist on the confiscation of all material gains the perpetrators benefited from such acts.

Starting from the assumption that any, even the smallest success in preventing these deviations, is extremely important for society, in this paper we want to prove that by implementing the principles of New Public Management, we can create the preconditions to mitigate the consequences, as well as to reduce possibilities for committing such crimes. Through increasing transparency in the work of the public sector by using the benefits of IT technologies, more efficient and effective motivation of employees, rigorous sanctioning of culpable conduct, system control and innovative approach it is possible to provide the prerequisites for an effective fight against the most dangerous disease of modern society.
