The Trafficking Of Smuggling Drugs

(Attention catcher)What if somebody came into your life and guaranteed a better lifestyle, but instead you were enslaved into human trafficking? Human trafficking is when a person is abducted from their current situation and mostly likely used for sex slavery. Furthermore, did you know human trafficking increased over the years? (Listener relevance) Although you may not be as aware in your comfortable surroundings, you should always be aware of suspicious vehicles and people. Even though we enjoy the freedom of walking around carelessly, our behavior can lead to becoming exploited by traffickers. Victims of trafficking are forced into sexual slavery. (Speaker credibility) In order to understand the seriousness of this issue, we decided to do more research. (Thesis) According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center from 2012 to present, human trafficking has gone from 2,404 to 3,107 victims. (Preview main points) Throughout this speech, you’ll understand the difference between prostitution and human trafficking, the history behind human trafficking, and the overall process of human trafficking.

Humanity has known since the dawn of history, multiple forms of slavery and it varies from society to another. As long as people thought that slavery ended, never to return, they go back and sneak into our communities in severe forms by human trafficking crimes.

Every year approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders, and yet no one really knows how many people are affected by trafficking. Mostly because it is a severly covert and very underground issue. Being the second largest crime in the world oday secind only to drug trafficking. Usually when people are trafficked, they become forced to wor and sometimes sell their bodies enduring countess hours of mental physical and sexual abuse with no food or pay to keep them going.

In a country of struggling economies, many have viewed the drug trade as one South American’ s most successful businesses. Latin America 's drug trafficking industry has been depicted in United States popular culture through motion pictures such as Scarface and Traffic. The purpose of my research is to take away society’s perception of what Hollywood has depicted drug trade to be and bring out what narcotics trafficking really is, as well as trying to coincide with the motivations of those people who take part in this. I will present the origins of drug trafficking, case studies regarding two countries (Mexico and Colombia), as well as the overall effects of the business on South America and United States. Drug Trafficking in South America starts in the early 19th century.

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.

The CIA wanted to stop drug trafficking, and out an end to it, when there was money involved it was a different story, the Cia thought to keep this on the low would be a good idea, they ended up thinking wrong, it’s a conspiracy gone wrong, they believed that by selling drugs, they can make a lot more money, they knew it was a bad thing to do, but business is business, they had to do what had to be done, this conspiracy that they did backfired on them dramatically, it cost them innocent lives all because of the CIA’s plan to make money, it eventually hurt them in the long run.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Treasury Department, the Coast guard, State, and City Police Departments are all involved in attempting to halt drug trafficking. Some methods used for smuggling heroin are tapping drugs around their

A challenge is tackling the increasing use of maritime routes for the trafficking of drugs to and from the region by the Southern route, which has displayed a collection of trafficking routes. Since the beginning

“Drug trafficking is a global illicit trade involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sale of substances which are subject to drug prohibition laws. UNODC is continuously monitoring and researching global illicit drug markets in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their dynamics. Drug trafficking is a key part of this research.”

Transnational Crime is nothing new across the country. It covers a wide range of crime that includes human/drug trafficking, cybercrimes, and weapons trafficking etc. However, since laws and law enforcements officers differ from country to country catching traffickers coming into another country could be hard. In addition, to using people; traffickers now use shipments via air to help them traffic drugs. For years, the borders of Mexico and the United States has been used to smuggle drugs between the countries with the intent to distribute the drugs to local drug dealers for a profit or maybe other reasonable gains.

The history of drug trafficking dates back to thousands of years, but one of the earliest operations involving the United States goes back to 1850 when chinese immigrants smuggled opium into California through large cargo ships. This paved the way for the ‘popular’ drugs of today's era, such as: marijuana, cocaine, and meth. Over the past 40 years the US has spent a staggering $2.5 trillion dollars fighting the drug war. Despite these efforts, the U.S. International Narcotics Control Strategy reports that only 10% of cocaine smuggled over the border of Mexico is intercepted (Suddath). US government officials have stated, “The only way to completely stop the drug war, is to help the other countries involved in it.” A prime example of this would

The war against drug trafficking is an ever-present problem, and is seemingly always growing more violent as the cartel’s and gangs power. Drugs are obviously not a constructive product, and countries such as Mexico are suffering in terms of image, prosperity, safety and

Drug trafficking is the illicit production transportation and trade with drugs. These drugs are produced in one country of the world and with strong network communication are traded to different destination of the world. It is clear that the existence of drug trafficking is the international problem, which needs rapid solutions. The harmful impact of drugs is commonly known all over the planet, that is why the majority of the drugs prohibited. Also it has a tremendous social impact that is breaking society slowly. This topic caught my attention and wanted to do a research on this topic because there are numerous issues those conflicts on this topic. Drugs are entering to United States from numerous places and statistics of deaths are

These advances have made national borders more permeable and allowed for an increased movement of people and goods, this suggests that no country is safe from the incidence of transnational crime (Finckenauer 2005). In comparison to even ten years ago, goods and services are moving much faster across national boundaries and businesses are having much more contact with other countries than ever before (Finckenauer 2005). This gives criminals the ability extend their reach internationally in supplying the public with their desires. It however makes the work of law enforcement difficult because boarders obstruct the law through difference between countries, this only creates opportunities for criminals especially when laws and enforcement differ and lessen between countries (Bjelopera & Finklea 2012).

The drug business is similar to legitimate business in that they both require certain entities to function. For example, in both types of business a certain product or service must be offered and someone is needed to supply that product or service. Furthermore, initial investors are needed to supply the product before the business is able to fund itself. Those in charge of the business needed to determine a group of people to produce the product. After the production of the drug, the leaders of the drug trafficking ring need to find reliable transportation for the goods from one location to other, often between various countries. As the text states, “Like any business that is international in scope, heroin trafficking requires extensive transportation
