Problems of globalization of drugs and trafficking

With the passage of time, globalization of drugs is empowered and it has occurred as a serious threat to the world. Today, internet is being used for the trafficking of drugs, in the form of selling illicit drugs. As a result, more people have access to drugs and there are minor efforts that prove to be fruitful for catching any smuggler and dealer ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"vpCAPNZ3","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":9,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/TAwijDkE/items/EVVBFH48"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/TAwijDkE/items/EVVBFH48"],"itemData":{"id":9,"type":"webpage","title":"(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking","URL":"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322602714_Globalization_and_Drug_Traffiking","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2020",1,19]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} ( Globalization and Drug Traffiking,” n.d.).

Evolution in drug use, trafficking, and law enforcement

Globalization has brought a major evolution in drug use because now there is a little need for human smugglers who can carry drugs. Drug usage is due to the availability of drug and this availability is enhanced at a broader level by globalization. It has empowered drug traffickers to create networks with a large number of people in less time, along with the ease of transportation. There is a less accountable and more diverse option for people to get drugs, resulting in a greater number of addicts. The users of drugs have grown comparatively to a greater number as compared to the past. Law enforcement is also a major department to consider because, despite updated technology and internet apparition, law enforcement agencies are usually failed because the traffickers are using more advanced technology and they are more up to date ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"8wMrCZXr","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":9,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/TAwijDkE/items/EVVBFH48"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/TAwijDkE/items/EVVBFH48"],"itemData":{"id":9,"type":"webpage","title":"(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking","URL":"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322602714_Globalization_and_Drug_Traffiking","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2020",1,19]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} ( Globalization and Drug Traffiking,” n.d.).

Drug trafficking, comparison with the past

In the past, drug traffickers have to include a large number of intermediaries for drug trafficking. Also, the transport of drugs was a huge concern. In the present time, there are no such fears because internet access has reduced the number of intermediaries and there is an improvement in the "efficiency effect". Also, the transport has become cheaper now along with updated information on government crackdowns which facilitates traffickers to opt for money laundering easily. There is a shift from poor and unskilled people to rich and professionals who are doing drug trafficking as a business ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"A5lFHOBq","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking,\\uc0\\u8221{} n.d.)","plainCitation":"(“(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking,” n.d.)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":9,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/TAwijDkE/items/EVVBFH48"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/TAwijDkE/items/EVVBFH48"],"itemData":{"id":9,"type":"webpage","title":"(PDF) Globalization and Drug Traffiking","URL":"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322602714_Globalization_and_Drug_Traffiking","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2020",1,19]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“ Globalization and Drug Traffiking,” n.d.).
