"Today, organized crime is affecting every segment of our society. It is a disease which infects everything that comes into contact with it. It is an insult added to every law-abiding citizen. It is high time our governments made a note and, moreover, took immediate action. Perhaps tomorrow will be late." Organized crime is a form of criminality manifestation, perhaps its most specific type. It is a phenomenon that causes horror as much as wonder about the way it works and, at the same time, a sort of lure for its mystery and the particular way of comprehension. For years and years it has inspired volumes of writing, plenty of which have become best-sellers, or have produced blockbusters, arousing amazing mass interest. That is because criminal organizations and their activity have been to society both a tangible everyday reality and a remote thing, beyond comprehension. Many authors have researched into organized crime and criminal organizations, pointing out their characteristics and specifics. They attribute such features to it as a perpetual connection of many people engaged in criminal activity, an organizational hierarchy with a great power of the leaders, the domination of rule and order, discipline and responsibility among the members, imposed solidarity, maintaining the secrecy of activity and of the organization, and the international character of their activity. Unfortunately, there are a large number of worldwide notorious criminal organizations. Over time, they have been discovered and studied by various criminologists, who have managed to provide sufficient information on the specific features of each of them, the activities on which they focus and the territories in which they operate. But what means should we use in order to face organized crime today? It is necessary that differentiated strategies be studied according to the type of the mafia organization against which a concrete operation is to be launched. The strategy should also be coordinated not only in national level but also internationally, because the international character of organized crime is already an established fact.

With the expansion of organized crime in Central America, the countries in this continental sub-region have enacted a great deal of internal legislation, and have ratified international treaties at the universal, regional and Central American level, particularly after the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime took effect in 2000.This abundance of laws is very positive, and is an expression of these Central American States' intent to fulfill their supranational obligations and provide security for their inhabitants. However, it is also negative in that it has led to dispersion, dislocation, discrepancies and inaccuracies regarding the prevailing legal regulations, because national laws have been developed with different concepts, structures, approaches, scope and definitions.Despite these conditions that are adverse to legal harmonization, Central America can move forward with matching its legislation against organized crime. Actually, there already exists an extensive common legal framework in this area, expressed in the fact that most international treaties on Organized Crime have come into force at the universal, regional and subregional levels, ratified by all or most countriesPolitical will is the common denominator that should mediate all efforts of harmonization and alignment of legislation in Central America; it is essential for proposing steps that are based on a common strategy or program.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5377/rpsp.v1i2.1359 ; Ante la expansión del crimen organizado en Centroamérica los países de esta subregión continental han aprobado muchas leyes internas y han ratificado varios tratados internacionales en el plano universal, regional y centroamericano, con mayor énfasis después de la entrada en vigencia de la Convención de Naciones Unidas contra la Delincuencia Organizada Transnacional del año 2000.Esa abundancia de leyes es muy positiva; expresa la preocupación de los Estados centroamericanos por cumplir sus obligaciones supranacionales y brindar seguridad a sus habitantes. Pero también es negativa porque ha propiciado dispersión, desarticulación, discrepancias e imprecisión acerca de la normativa jurídica vigente, debido a que las leyes nacionales han sido elaboradas con diferentes concepciones, estructuras, enfoques, alcances y definiciones.Pese a esas condiciones contrarias a la armonización jurídica, Centroamérica puede avanzar en la concordancia de su legislación contra la delincuencia organizada. De hecho, ya cuenta con un extenso marco jurídico común en esta materia, expresado en la vigencia de la mayoría de tratados internacionales a nivel universal, regional y subregional sobre crimen organizado, ratificados por todos o la mayoría de los países.La voluntad política es el denominador común que debe mediar en todos los esfuerzos de armonización y concordancia de la legislación en América Central; indispensable en cuanto plante etapas que se basen en una estrategia o programa común.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5377/rpsp.v1i2.1359
