HUMAN TRAFFICWe will help you. For the worlds refugees and asylum seekers, it is a message ofhope. For criminals that agree to take them to a new country, its big business.Thousands of people are promised a better life in the rich countries of the west, butmany die on terrible journeys. Things are not much better for those that arrive. How canthe west fight the criminals and help the refugees? There are no easy answers. One ofthe problems is the large number of people moving illegal immigrants. And they are notall big criminals, because time and a vehicle are the only things anyone needs to make

money in this way.

The story of Josip Loncaric is a good example. Loncaric was a Croatian taxi driver who,twenty years ago, started taking cheap fruit and vegetables to the Italian border. Whenwar came to Yugoslavia, Loncaric forgot about the fruit and preferred taking refugees.He earned good money and bought more vehicles. Soon, he was transporting over fivehundred refugees a week to the Italian border. When Chinese criminals also beganmoving refugees into Europe through Trieste, Loncaric joined them. He now had 200

people working for him. They brought illegal immigrants into Europe from all over theworld. Loncaric grew rich.

His luck changed in 1998, when the police in Italy, Slovenia and Britain decided towork together. They listened to Loncarics telephone conversations, and sent specialofficers to watch him. Then one of Loncarics workers, Tomo Fodor, agreed to helpthem. Finally, in July 2000, Loncaric was arrested and his business of making moneyfrom refugees was over.

This is only one success story. Hundreds of other criminals are still moving refugees.But the story shows what can be done when countries join together to stop the terribletrade in human traffic. Early this year, Italy and the UK decided to work together in anumber of ways. They agreed to exchange information, to plan police operations

between the two countries, to punish criminals more than before, and to help refugeesreturn to their own countries.


7/25

This last point is perhaps the most important of all. The real answer to the refugeeproblem lies in helping to make their home countries safe again. The west is havingsome success in Kosovo. Other dangerous parts of the world may be different. But themessage is the same: learn to live with your neighbour. Until the world understands this,

the refugee problem will be here to stay.

B- Answer true or false. (teachers own creation) (5)

1- Things always go very well for those refugees that arrive to the westerncountries.

2- People moving illegal immigrants are not always big criminals.3- Loncaric moved refugees to the Croatian border.4- Loncaric was arrested in 1998 thanks to the police of Italy, Slovenia and

Britain.

5- The best solution for the refugee problem is helping their home countries to besafe again.

C- Find words or expressions in the text for the following definitions. (teachers

own creation) (5)

1- One who flees in search of refuge, as in times of war, political oppression, orreligious persecution.

2- The act of traveling from one place to another, a trip.3- The line or frontier area separating political divisions or geographic regions; a

boundary.

4- To become wealthy.5- To subject to a penalty for an offense, sin or fault.

D- Mark the verbs in the text and decide which verb tense they are. (5)

A- Listen to crime expert George Allrightly talking about crime in New York.

(10)(TOP MARKS. Students activity multirom. Burlington books)

TRANSCRIPT: NEW YORK CITY GAINS THE WAR AGAINST CRIME

-Ladies and gentlemen Id like to introduce our speaker crime expert George Allrightly.-Thank you! I am here to talk to you about crime in our city and what can be done aboutit. A lot of our citicens are worried about the increase in crime in our city. They say itsno longer safe to walk the streets at night. These same people feel that nothing can bedone about it, because nothing works. But Id like to tell you about a place where thefight against crime did work, and worked well: New York City. In the 1970s and the80s New York was Americas most dangerous city. People were afraid to go out atnight, there were neighborhoods like Harlemyouve probably heard of Harlem, whereno one from the outside dare to walk even during the day. If you asked a taxi driver todrive you through Harlem hed probably refuse and for good reason. As for the subway,thats the underground, there were some subway lines that were so violent that you

really couldnt be sure what would happen to you if you run on them. But today Ladiesand Gentlemen, today New York is a different city, everything has changed. Thesubway is clean and safe and violent crime has dropped by 75% since the 90s.Incredibly, Harlem is now a centre for businesses, shopping and tourism. Youre

probably asking yourselves how did they do it? Can we do what they did? Well,actually there were several factors that contributed to this improvement and I am goingto explain a few of them to you today. One important factor was the broken windowstheory. This idea says that you have to pay attention to the small things, because if youdont then things will get out of control. This means dealing with small crimes, nottolerating even the smallest crimes. Why is it called the broken windows theory?Well, it goes like thislets say you have a building that has got a few brokenwindows, maybe just one or two. If the windows are unrepaired, then soon theres goingto be vandalism, vandals will come and break a few more windows, maybe paint some


10/25

graffiti. They are a lot more likely to do this in a building with broken windows than ina building that hasnt got broken windows. Why? Because it seems like it doesntmatter. Nobody really cares about that building anyway and soon people will come inand steal things, then go under the stair to take drugsand all because of a few brokenwindows. When Rudolf Giuliani was elected major of New York in 1994, he decided to

use the broken windows theory and make it his policy. He believed that by reducingpetty crime he would also combat more violent crimes. Giuliani started taking actionagainst the crimes that people considered petty, little things like throwing rubbish in thestreet. He cleaned up the streets and stopped people painting graffiti. He wouldnttolerate things like people drinking in public or aggressive bagging. Hed also help a lotof people get jobs and of course he acted against drugs and organized crime as well. Ofcourse, that wasnt the only thing Giuliani did. He hired thousands of new policeofficers and in 1994 he also introduced a computer program called ........., to help the

police do they work. This program records crime incidents everyday in every part of thecity. It marks the places where crimes take place on a map. This helps the police knowexactly where to send more officers and what areas to focus on. After a very short timethere was a lot reduction in petty crimes. But the most amazing thing is that wasnt theonly improvement. The number of violent crimes even murders went down massively.And whats more, it has stayed down. In 1990, there were 2245 murders in New YorkCity, thats six people murdered everyday. In 2004 there were 572 murders, that meansthe murder rate has gone down by about 75%. So, as you can see it can be done. Thesituation is not hopeless, all we have to do is take action. We may have big problems inour city, but we can take steps to solve them. Thank you! Thank you very much!
