Download or read book Dealing Crack written by Bruce A. Jacobs and published by Northeastern University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1980s, addiction to crack cocaine escalated at an alarming rate. As the demand for crack grew, so did the economic opportunities for entrepreneurial street dealers, who developed criminal underground networks for the supply and retail sale of the high-profit substance. While crack cocaine use has since plateaued and is on the decline, hard-core dealers persist in selling the increasingly unprofitable drug in a high-risk, competitive street market. Bruce A. Jacobs bases his study on dangerous field research conducted in one of the most socially distressed and impoverished neighborhoods in St. Louis. Drawing on no-holds-barred interviews with active dealers, as well as on his own eyewitness observations of transactions and encounters with police, Jacobs captures the crack business as it actually operates on the streets. He examines the underlying motivations for selling crack, describes the complex and intricate social organization of dealing, and explores how dealers protect transactions from law enforcement, undercover police, and criminal predators. Quoting extensively from his conversations with offenders, he conveys much of the fear and aura surrounding the process and lifestyle of crack cocaine dealing. This provocative volume is appropriate for a variety of courses in criminal justice and social problems and gives general readers an inside look at one of America's most troubling problems.

Download or read book An Economic Analysis of Desistance from Street level Drug Dealing written by Lisa Marie Vasquez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overt drug markets - street dealing, drug houses, and the like -- are amongst the most severe sources of violence and disorder in certain communities. Traditional enforcement tactics have not been successful in closing these markets. While the Drug Market Intervention (DMI) has shown promise in reducing drug and violent crime, it has created adaptive difficulties regarding finances for operators within these markets. This research used in-depth interviews to explore economic changes by former street-level drug dealers associated with the Terrace and Bedell DMI in Hempstead Village, New York. Special attention was paid to prior and current sources of income and any displacement into alternative illegalities. Results indicate that few participants held legitimate employment prior to implementation of the DMI, and more than half are currently employed. Additionally, a small amount of displacement was reported post-DMI. The findings from this study extend the existing literature concerning the financial practices of street-level drug dealers in ways that help policy makers and practitioners design and implement innovative and effective police practices.

Book excerpt: Traffickers presents new findings into the most mythologised and least understood area of crime and law enforcement. The chamelion reality of the world of drug trafficking is described in the words of traffickers and detectives. Drug enforcement combines the banal and spectacular in surveillance, covert operations and criminal intelligence. The war on drugs is a harbinger of wider changes in the organisation of policing and international cooperation. Traffickers explores the struggle that transforms policing and punishment as it stimulates the imagination.
