Abstract

The note examines the influence of organized crime in ports, focusing on the Port of New York/New Jersey and the Port of Vancouver. It highlights the effectiveness of the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor in reducing crime through centralized regulation and contrasts it with Vancouver's decentralized approach, which lacks a unified policing mechanism. The analysis underscores the need for stronger regulatory measures and adaptive strategies to combat evolving criminal activities in both ports.
