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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book European Drug Report 2019 written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trends and Developments report presents a top-level overview of the drug phenomenon in Europe, covering drug supply, use and public health problems as well as drug policy and responses. Together with the online Statistical Bulletin and 30 Country Drug Reports, it makes up the 2019 European Drug Report package. This year’s report arrives at a critical time for reflection on drug policy developments, especially given the international debate on the appropriate follow-up to the United Nations special session on the world drug problem in 2016. Next year will see the final evaluation of the current EU drugs strategy (2013-20). During this period, Europe has witnessed some dramatic changes in the challenges the drugs area presents, including the appearance of more non-controlled substances. We have also seen significant changes in the drug market and drug use; and our understanding of what constitutes effective interventions has increased. A market dominated by plant-based substances imported into Europe has evolved into one where synthetic drugs and production within Europe have grown in importance. Globalisation and technological advances have reshaped the strategic issues that European policymakers need to consider. We are proud of the EMCDDA’s international reputation for keeping pace with these changes and providing the information necessary to help support the cooperation and coordination that the EU drug strategy envisages.

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: This report is part of the activity of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) around the development and improvement of drug supply indicators, which are designed to reflect developments in drug markets as well as the markets' wider harms and impact (EMCDDA, 2017). The impact of drugs and drug markets goes beyond those who are directly exposed health and social problems resulting from drugs. In a wider sense, the issue is of serious concern in relation to the security situation in Europe and may deeply affect neighbourhoods and local communities, as drug use and drug markets can act as cross-cutting facilitators of all types of violence (EMCDDA and Europol, 2016; 2019), including drug-related homicide (DRH). DRH has the potential to act as a valuable indicator of wider drug-related violent crime and thus improve our understanding of the broader ramifications of drug markets. Comparing countries' DRH levels can be a valuable tool for identifying trends and new threats. So far, the EMCDDA has invested in exploring how data and information on DRH can be improved at European level. An audit was conducted of academic research and data sources on DRH at national and European/international levels (EMCDDA, 2018). This initial work identified a range of challenges for data collection as well as inconsistencies in the data currently available in this area. These challenges illustrated the more general difficulty of quantifying the drug-crime relationship. To overcome the obstacles, the EMCDDA explored how an existing European homicide data-gathering platform - the European Homicide Monitor (EHM) - could be expanded to include specific DRH variables. The EHM is an international coding system that operationalises homicide characteristics using common definitions. It relies on information from the police, official criminal justice records, autopsy reports and auxiliary sources in the public domain. The EHM platform was augmented with specific drug-related variables, and a specific DRH data collection protocol was pilot tested in the Netherlands, Finland and Sweden (EMCDDA, 2019). Following on from the 2018 and 2019 reports, this publication contains a revised version of the DRH data protocol, embedded in and extending the original framework for standardised general homicide data collection at European Union level. Both previous EMCDDA reports highlighted the importance of DRH as an indicator of drug-related violent crime in general, which can potentially provide an opportunity for an increased understanding of the harms and consequences of illicit drug markets. It is intended that this protocol will facilitate prospective research and the monitoring of trends in drugrelated homicide in Europe, providing greater scope for identifying new drug-related security threats.

Download or read book Understanding Drug Dealing and Illicit Drug Markets written by Tammy C. Ayres and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the drug dealer in contemporary society from an interdisciplinary perspective and considers the increasingly blurred demarcation between illegitimate and legitimate drug markets. It explores the motives and drivers of those involved in drug supply and dispels common and stereotypical myths and misconceptions surrounding illegal drug markets and those who operate within them. The drug dealer has become one of our foremost contemporary ‘folk devils’. Those who trade in substances prohibited by law are the subject of array of inaccurate myths and urban legends. Criminology has tended either to shoehorn drug dealers into neat typologies or portray them as ‘victims’ of an uncaring, predatory post-modern society. In reality, we know relatively little about the complex and diverse world of drug markets and our concentration inevitably falls on low-end ‘retail’ dealers who operate in the most visible sectors of the illegal economy. Bringing together an international group of experts, this book considers perspectives from around the world, including UK, USA, South America, Spain, India and Australia. This book will be of interest to students and researchers across criminology, law, sociology, criminal justice and public health, and will be essential reading for those taking courses on drugs, drug markets and substance misuse.

This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluating the impact of Laws Regulating Illicit Drugs on Health and Society serves as an informative reference for social science researchers and policymakers on the science behind drug regulation. The book presents contributions from many leading researchers in drug law and policy evaluation. The 12 chapters highlight scientific evidence from a diverse range of international projects on evaluation of different illicit drug laws. Each contribution takes policies into account while also using methodological tools and relevant data sets. For a priori evaluation, the modern leximetric approach is applied to compare different drug laws. For posterior evaluation the analysis of social and health outcomes, using standard and new indicators are presented, discussed and applied. Next, the book covers the use of drug market estimation methods in policy research. Specific new indicators allowing the evaluation of interventions such as harm reduction and prevention are presented and analysed using international research data. The book concludes with a summary of the links of illegal drug market gains with corruption, and its consequences. Evaluating the impact of Laws Regulating Illicit Drugs on Health and Society gives readers a unique, evidence-based perspective on the relationship between drugs, laws, policy and socioeconomic conditions. Key Features Features 12 contributions from international experts on drug legislation and social science Demonstrates evidence-based evaluation of drug laws and policies Highlights Leximetric and forecast methods applied to illicit drug laws with examples Highlights the use of standard and new socioeconomic indicators to evaluate drug laws and policies Informs readers about different policy approaches to drug regulation and their consequences Summarizes the links of illegal drug markets with corruption Provides detailed references for further reading

This book was released on 2020-04-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization is rapidly changing lives and industries around the world. Drug development, authorization, and regulatory supervision have become international endeavors, with most medicines becoming global commodities. Drug companies utilize global supply chains that often include facilities in countries with inconsistent regulations from those of the United States, perform pivotal trials in multiple countries to support registration submissions in various jurisdictions, and subsequently market their medicines throughout most of the world. These companies operate across borders and require individual national regulators to ensure that drugs authorized for use in their countries are safe and effective, and appropriate for their health care system and their population. This process involves significant resources and often duplicative work. It is important to consider how this process can be improved in order to better allocate resources, time, and efforts to improve public health. Regulating Medicines in a Globalized World: The Need for Increased Reliance Among Regulators considers the role of mutual recognition and other reliance activities among regulators in contributing to enhancing public health. This report identifies opportunities for leveraging reliance activities more broadly in order to potentially impact public health globally. Key topics in this report include the job of medicines regulators in today's world, what policy makers need to know about today's regulatory environment, stakeholder views of recognition and reliance, as well as removing impediments and facilitating action for greater recognition and reliance among regulatory authorities.
