The author of the article touches upon the Japanese system, saying that the way it affects criminality is interesting. It almost ideally succeeded to combine relative mildness with high efficiency. Japanese law comes from the fact that harshness and mass character of punishments cannot restrain criminality. In Japan the next methods of affecting the criminality are used education, providing of satisfaction of population, social control, isolation of persons presenting a public danger, self-defense.
The author also indicates an effective fight against corruption in China. Strategy of the Chinese in a fight against corruption is sent to toughening of punishment and strengthening of political and social position of the state. Anticorruption plan of the People’s Republic of China plug in itself a number of system measures. In particular, the preparation of a number of special laws, and creation of economic institutes that must block corruption developments by formation of economic motivation at public servants. The third direction is making of sense of justice, forming an anticorruption model of behavior for the citizens, a stereotype to correct the behavior for the citizens, a stereotype to correct the behavior.

But more frightful punishment for the office worker of Netherlands is a loss of positive reputation, kind name and self-respect.
As for Canada, the author covers the criminal code of Canada, where says, that this code equates a bribery to violation of constitution and act of high treason. A member of parliament, in case of receipt or pay a bribe, is threatened with imprisonment for 14 years, thus he is automatically deprived the deputy mandate from the day of confession his guilty in a court. All deputies are under an obligation to report annually in writing the detailed data about companies, where they work as directors, managers or office workers, as well as about corporations or funds they own.
Summing up, the author states that a single public policy must be formed in area of flight against the organized crime and corruption, including the measures of state, political, economic and social control is needed for an entire system of state administration from the side of civil society.
I support the author’s idea to abide the aim of creation the atmosphere of intolerance of corruption and organized crime and to observe the principles of legality, justice, forming the model of moral behavior of a human being. We need to understand that money is not everything and it is not a stable thing. It is true that we need lot of money to live a common life. However it is not true that just for our selfishness and greediness we should play someone’s life or money in some unfair ways.
