Crime and public security challenges facing the city include its large number of potential terrorist targets, deeply entrenched organised crime syndicates, ethnic/communal and sporting rivalry violence, gang violence in the city's poorer neighbourhoods, drug and other smuggling activities and black market trade, and the presence of many political extremist groups. Valēka's organised criminal enterprises have a long history of infiltrating the city's labour unions, public services, transport and construction industries, and even political parties, making them praticularly difficult for the city government to combat effectively. The ethnically Paisonic Coscivian ''Íntudóntræ'' ("Seven Families") and the Gaelic Mob have been the dominant organised crime groups since the late {{H:title|1890s AD|21080s}}, but are now facing competition from the Stelanovian Mob, the Hardbass Mafia, the Black 47s, and the ЖЖ-10s. Valēka is a major nexus for the transnational [[Kiravian Mafia]]. | Crime and public security challenges facing the city include its large number of potential terrorist targets, deeply entrenched organised crime syndicates, ethnic/communal and sporting rivalry violence, gang violence in the city's poorer neighbourhoods, drug and other smuggling activities and black market trade, and the presence of many political extremist groups.
