Overview

"The authors of ""Traffickers"" present 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. This book should be of interest to students of criminology, addiction, social policy, politics and law."
