Book excerpt: This report explores the concept of the illicit drug market within the broader context of changing patterns of drug use, cultural and social factors and links to wider criminality. Drug markets continue to be one of the most profitable areas for organised crime groups (OCGs) and it is estimated that EU citizens spend over EUR 24 billion (range EUR 21 to 31 billion) every year on illicit drugs. The impacts that drug markets have on society are correspondingly large and go beyond the harms caused by drug use. They include involvement in other types of criminal activities and in terrorism; impacts on legal businesses and the wider economy; strain on and corruption of government institutions; and impacts on wider society. Three overarching themes emerge from our analysis: - The increasing organisational and technical complexity, interconnectedness and specialisation of groups involved in drug markets. - Globalisation and technology are accelerating the rate of change in the drug market. - Drug market-related activities are concentrated in a number of established and emerging geographical locations. These developments challenge those trying to respond to the problems created by the illicit drug market and the associated wider problems and suggest that: nn A systemic analysis of drug market business models will be helpful for both operational and policy purposes. - Partnerships between national authorities and with industry are becoming ever more important, as is engagement with international organisations and third countries. - Efficient use of resources can be achieved through the identification and targeting of geographical locations where drug market-related activities are concentrated. - Continuing recognition of the value of a strategic response, informed by sound information used to identify new opportunities as well as challenges, is essential.

Book excerpt: The EU Drug Markets Report 2019 is the third comprehensive overview of illicit drug markets in the European Union by the EMCDDA and Europol. The analysis presented in this report spans numerous topics such as the links between drugs and other crimes, the licit economy and society more generally as well as the processes and players involved in the trade from production and trafficking to distribution. Taking an evidence-based approach, the report reviews the markets for heroin, cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDMA and new psychoactive substances. It also provides action points to inform policy development at EU and national level. This publication is an essential reference for law enforcement professionals, policymakers, the academic community and indeed for anyone seeking up-to-date information and analysis on drug markets in Europe.

Download or read book Estimating the Size of the Main Illicit Retail Drug Markets in Europe written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first market size estimates for cannabis, cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines and heroin were published in the EMCDDA-Europol 2016 European Drug Markets Report, covering 2013. The challenges in obtaining such estimates were recognised at that time, though the need to assist policymakers in prioritising interventions by providing information on the scale, relative importance and changes in the markets for different drugs outweighed these concerns. The project was seen as a process, where the estimates would be improved in subsequent rounds by addressing data issues and developing the methodology. Since 2016 additional and different data sources have become available and where appropriate the methodology has been changed, though the basic underlying method remains as it was. Developments for the estimates published in this report include: data on the amounts of drugs used by various types of user have been extended and updated, using information from the European Web Survey on Drugs (EWSD); routinely monitored data from the Member States have been updated, improving estimates of the number of users and drug prices. For example, 24 of the EU countries have reported a more recent general population survey than that available when the initial estimates were made; crack use by high-risk opioid users has been included in the cocaine market size estimates; data on patterns of use for cannabis herb and resin, separately obtained from the EWSD, have been used to estimate the contribution of these different forms of cannabis to the overall cannabis market. In the previous estimates, numbers of seizures were used in the absence of suitable information about use of these products.

Book excerpt: The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) and the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) published the most recent analysis of EU drug markets on 26 November 2019. At that time, no one could have predicted the dramatic changes that 2020 would bring. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our daily lives in many ways and has also had an impact on drug markets. There is a critical need to investigate the extent and nature of this impact to identify areas where rapid adaptations to operational responses and future policies are required. In addition, lessons may be learned from the past and current situations in terms of how we might better anticipate emerging threats and ensure that we act quickly to meet immediate and longer-term data needs to inform policy, decision-making and operational responses. The objective of this analysis of EU drug markets is to increase understanding of ongoing developments and their impact on the internal security and public health of the EU in order to inform European institutions and partners in EU Member States. This is of vital importance for formulating effective responses at EU and national levels and could inform (future) priorities for collaborative responses. This report looks at the following areas to provide information on the current situation and an assessment of the medium-term outlook in relation to drug markets: - impacts and consequences; - drivers and facilitators; - focus on the main drug types; - criminal groups; - law enforcement responses; - outlook.

Book excerpt: A key message of this report is that policies need to recognise and respond to the wide-ranging harmful impact of the drug market on society. The costs to public health can be seen in drug-related deaths and those seeking treatment. However, it is important also to recognise how developments in the drug market are leading to the growth of organised crime and other forms of criminality, heightened levels of violence and corruption, the exploitation of vulnerable individuals and environmental damage.

Book Synopsis Using Open-source Information to Improve the European Drug Monitoring System by :
Download or read book Using Open-source Information to Improve the European Drug Monitoring System written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes open-source information monitoring and how we use it at the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) in the area of drug markets -- what it is and, importantly, what it is not; the methodology for its use; what it can be used for; and its limitations. The EMCDDA first used this approach in 2016, to monitor for signs of serious and urgent health threats associated with new psychoactive substances, in order to support the work of the European Union Early Warning System. More recently, the technique has been extended to the area of European drug markets. This report describes how the EMCDDA uses open-source information monitoring, and presents the initial findings of a pilot project looking at how to improve the timeliness and quality of data with relevance to the analysis of European drug markets -- specifically with reference to data on heroin and cocaine seizures of 100 kg or more for the European market between April 2017 and March 2018. The report offers insights and recommendations for continued monitoring, which have implications for policy and practice as well as applications to other areas of the EMCDDA's work.

The Report will maintain a global overview of the baseline data and estimates on drug demand and supply. This part will be descriptive and less analytical to fulfill one of the main functions of the report which is to provide the reference point of information on the drug situation worldwide. Other parts will be more analytical and will look in depth at few specific topics. Issues which will be highlighted in analysing new trends were selected on the basis of available research findings discussed within RAB and other internal and external stakeholders, including the members of the WDR Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The thematic focus of the 2017 Report will be on the links between drugs, terrorism, corruption, transnational organized crime and illicit financial flows.
