The authors of "Traffickers" reject the conventional idea that drug trafficking is dominated by large criminal organisations. Big traffickers, the mafia, cartels - these are myths, nourishing the popular imagination and stimulating advances in law enforcement. "Traffickers" exposes the diversity of drug trafficking today, and provides an account of how police operations work. It includes: accounts of the development of drug markets from the 1960s to the 1990s, a discussion of the evolution of new policing methods, including secret intelligence development operations, insider views on the development of a national detective agency for Britain and extended extracts from a hitherto unpublished and confidential report from the Association of Chief Police Officers. This book should be of interest to students of criminology, addiction, social policy, politics and law.
