Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, Illegal Drug Use in the United Kingdom provides a comprehensive review of information and interventions available in drug misuse in order to inform local drug policies. In keeping with the policy documents in both Scotland and England, the volume covers the breadth of possible interventions, rather than health care alone. Separate chapters review educational, policing and counselling approaches and discuss work with special groups such as rural drug users, sex workers and club-goers.

Download or read book Accomplishing Human Rights Justice in the Context of Assets Confiscation written by Professor Kato Gogo Kingston and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that crude oil, tourism and the illicit drug trade are among the top five most financially inducing businesses in the world. Drug cartels conduct sophisticated and well organised activities including money laundering and monitoring of large networks of their careers. In past the decade, the United Kingdom has incurred large expenditure on the treatment of drug related illnesses and, on the enforcement of drug control laws. Several drug laws are enacted to deal with the waves of illicit drugs in the country. There is controversy over the ways by which the properties of the drug traffickers and suspected drug dealer, are seized by the State; in order to seize anyone's private property prior to commencement of legal proceedings to effect a permanent forfeiture, the law enforcement agencies are only required to show “probable cause” that the property being seized is acquired with the profit of drug crime alternatively, that the property facilitates drug criminal activities. Using data from academic materials and United Kingdom case laws, the paper argues that the United Kingdom drug trafficking laws particularly the enforcement of “civil asset recovery” under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and, the “Criminal confiscation” under the Drug trafficking Act 1994 violates the International Human Rights Laws.

Secondly, the author explores the extent of the current situation in the UK prison. That is, the author examines what makes it easier for prisoners in England and Wales to purchase funds, where do they get funds and existence of policy failures. Finally, the author suggests effective ways of addressing the issue of drug use in UK prisons.

Download or read book Illicit Drug Trade written by Camala M. Price and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and Mexico face a myriad of threats to national security: terrorism, crime, illicit drug trafficking, contraband, gangs, illegal logging, trafficking in persons, climate change, and cyber-attacks. The illicit drug trade stands out and continues to present challenges that place a tremendous strain on the United States' national health care system. Both countries are heavily invested in the law enforcement fight against drugs. Bilateral efforts are looking at more holistic ways to have positive impacts. United States interagency cooperation is prevalent; however there is much work to be done to stem the tide of illicit drugs and their effects on individuals and communities. This paper identifies the effects of the four primary drugs -- marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines -- and the challenges they pose as national leaders move forward to reduce threats to the United States health care system. Recommendations follow.
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.

Download or read book County Lines written by Harding, Simon and published by Bristol University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Described by the National Crime Agency as a ‘significant threat’, county lines involve gangs recruiting vulnerable youth to sell drugs in provincial areas. This phenomenon has impacted local drug markets, increasing criminal activity and violence. Exploring how county lines evolve, Harding reveals extensive criminal exploitation and control in the daily ‘grind’ to sell drugs. Drawing upon extensive interviews and case studies, this timely book gives voice to users and dealers, providing an in-depth analysis of techniques, relationships and ‘trapping’. With county lines now a critical issue for policing and government, this is an invaluable contribution to literature on gangs, youth violence and drugs.
