since they are within the purview of the Revised Penal Code instead these are
provided by special laws. In this note it is therefore a must to understand the pros
and cons of special crimes and this author submit to the reading public his
conceptual view of special crimes.
Special situation requires also special approach to deal with the situation. In a
like manner special laws which are outside the ordinary require special
approach to deal with. It deals on several concepts of criminalities where it is
not so common to the people’s understanding. These extraordinary crimes as
“ white collar crimes” where those who commits the act does not even
consider themselves as criminals but as regular businessmen or entrepreneurs.
special crimes categorized the subjects into:
• Organized crime
• Political ideological crimes

scheme, an investment program that offers impossibly high returns and pays
investors using the money contributed by other investors.

specialization in the conduct of investigation since perpetrators are so
cunning with very high degree of mastery in their operation
