The Problem Of Drug Trafficking

The issues of trafficking drugs, weapons, and human beings have a significant impact on maritime industry due to the fact that all acts are being transported across the oceans. The need to stop this black market of trafficking across seas is on a rise. The hazards of the trafficking are becoming more and more dangerous. The reason why it is becoming more dangerous is due to the risk of the transporters are taking to get the drugs, weapons or human beings to get from point A to point B. The transporters if caught by authorities, depending on their home country can be anything from a single night in jail to being put to death. Due to the risk of penalty, this may put an extra motive to not get caught and will use force to get away at any cost. Theses traffickers are getting pay well or are forced by cartels, which often give them ultimatum that they kill their families if they do not complete the task. The stress from the cartels or the cash reward will make the traffickers put everything on the line even their own lives. The trafficking of drugs, weapons and human beings are a serious problem on the maritime industry due to the dangerous actions taking by such traffickers.

It all started in the Chicago School. Robert Park and Ernest Burgess came up with the idea of social ecology. In the in class text, Schmalleger (2009)

Human Trafficking is serious, you may think that it doesn't affect you, you may think that you can’t do anything about it because the world of Human Trafficking is so much bigger than we as humans can comprehend. Over 27 million people are still trapped in Human Trafficking, and those are the documented people. This is the largest number of slaves ever recorded in history. The majority of trafficking happens in cities like our own. In fact, Houston is one of the top hubs in America when it comes to Human Trafficking. Homeless children – desperate for food, shelter and comfort – are

Three people allegedly part of a large drug trafficking organization were indicted last week and six pounds of heroin were seized, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

With globalization of trade, it is simple for crimes between criminals in the U.S and other countries to occur. For example, drug dealers from one country sneaking illegal substances and other contraband into packages and ship it off to the U.S. Drug dealers think and plan this smuggling well, in attempts to successfully enter their product into the country to sell and distribute. In 2016, there were large shipments of narcotics coming from the Caribbean to areas of Southwestern U.S. The task force comprised of the U.S Coast Guard, The Drug Enforcement Administration and other agencies. This task force managed to interfere with drug smuggling from the Bahamas and denied traffickers access to do so. (Homeland Security, 2016) There are also products

The United States has one of the most profitable drug markets in the world. “As such, it attracts the most ruthless, sophisticated, and aggressive drug traffickers” The United States has such a demand for illegal drugs such as cocaine, heroin, marijuana, MDMA, and methamphetamine, that traffickers will do about anything to sneak in the drugs into the country. The majority of the drugs are brought into the country from the border between Mexico and the U.S.A. These drugs are supplied mainly from Mexico, and Colombia. According to the U.S Drug Enforcement Agency, the price of a kilogram of cocaine ranges from $13,000 to $25,000. That is about 2.2 pounds of cocaine. With that kind of profit, we can for sure know that as long as there is demand

International drug trafficking cause a MULTITUDE of problems for many people. When a person overdoses from drugs, it doesn't just stop there, this person might have been a dad for example. This child could find themselves in foster care, run away and start drugs themselves, causing the whole problem with their father to start again on them. Drug trafficking can also force harder measures for immigrants; with all of the trafficking going on, more suspicion is brought back. It make it that much harder for immigrants to get into the country that they desire, like the U.S., and they might truly need the help. It is so difficult for authorities to try to dismantle drug trafficking because every where you go, drugs seem to pop up. Anyone can have

Injustices occur everyday in the world. We tend to witness injustices on a daily basis, some of them are unnoticeable, but the ones that we do notice and we can’t do anything about, makes us feel impotent. That is what this tragic and unjust event made me feel, and in Guerrero, Mexico, that is how the families of this 43 kidnapped students still feel. On september 2014, 43 male students went missing in Iguala, Guerrero, Mexico. The 43 students were undergraduates at Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos, a teachers college, in Ayotzinapa. Students at Ayotzinapa had a tradition, which consisted of taking the public transportation buses to go to a march in Mexico City. They never imagined the police was waiting for them. As the buses were leaving

Millions are dead and know one can do anything. It’s two in the morning, sleeping with the constant sound of gunshots has become a normal thing. This particular night there was a loud commotion going on right outside the bedroom window. Hearing the neighbor scream, knowing he wouldn't be there in the morning. There was nothing anyone could have done. If people were to get involved, or to get in the way of what the cartels were doing that day, they too would be killed on the spot. Kidnapping is a common thing the cartels do, and also make money from kidnapping. Mexican drug cartels use the people they kidnap in many ways. An example would be, having the victims build tunnels for their drugs to enter the U.S, to only be executed after the project

In 2004, Antoine Jones, an owner and operator of a Washington D.C. night club, became the target of the FBI and Metropolitan Police Department in an investigation involving the trafficking of narcotics. Many investigative techniques were employed by the investigators which included visual surveillance of the night club, installation of a camera focused on the front door of the club, and a pen register and wiretap on Jones’s cellular phone. In 2005, with help from these techniques, enough information was acquired for the government to apply to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for a warrant. The warrant authorized the use of an electronic tracking device on Jones’s Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was registered in his wife’s name. The warrant was issued and authorized installation of the device in the District of Columbia and within 10 days. Officers decided on the 11th day to install the GPS underneath of his vehicle while it was in a public parking lot in Maryland. This device tracked Jones’s vehicles every move 24 hours a day for 28 days.

In this research paper I will discuss one transnational crime, and compare the contrast of two nations for their definition of the crime rate, and tools used to measure the crime. I will give each country’s legal tradition and their major influences on crime definition, rate, and measurement. In this assignment I will analyze the extent to which crime statistics collected in different nations can adequately be compared.

What is the first thing that comes into your mind when you hear of the region Latin America? Poverty, violence, drugs? Latin America is a major region where drugs are generated, imported, and exported. The general stereotype with regards to Latin America is that the region is drug infested due to the history of use, the problems regarding drug trafficking, and the continued statistics proving the ongoing use of drugs. Despite the fact that not every country in Latin America fits in this mold, history and data supports this impression.

Human trafficking and smuggling has been in existence across the world for thousands of years. While both of these issues deserve equal public awareness, they are very different from one another. The United Nations office reveals consent, exploitation and transnationality are the most important differences ("United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime." Web). From ancient Greek to medieval times, up until today, both physical and sexual slavery is commonly used. Humans all over the world are trapped in lives of enigma, beaten and mistreated until eventually forced to work under extreme measures to illegally and unwillingly provide for others. From illicitly bringing drugs in and out of different countries, to transporting and controlling humans actions and whereabouts, the smuggling industry has taken a big toll on the US ("Timeline of Human Trafficking." Web). Many personal accounts of both human trafficking and smuggling have been taken into account and wrote about, one being the true story of a Cambodian Heroine.

Drug trafficking is where it is the selling of illegal drugs all over the world. The penalties are results in first degree felony, so for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's is the world’s most powerful drug trafficker is very dangerous. He’s been arrested two times and escaped once in 2001 and recently on July 11, 2015. El Chapo got out by escaping through a tunnel in his shower stall since that’s the only area where there is no camera shot to give him some privacy; however “as we all know, it actually provided an advantage, a blind spot, where Guzman was able to go through the floor and out to freedom.” (NPR.org)
