This comprehensive volume analyzes dual markets for regulated
substances and services, and aims to provide a framework for their
effective regulation. A "dual market" refers to the existence of
both a legal and an illegal market for a regulated product or
service (for example, prescription drugs). These regulations exist
in various countries for a mix of public health, historical,
political and cultural reasons. Allowing the legal market to
thrive, while trying to eliminate the illegal market, provides a
unique challenge for governments and law enforcement. Broken down
into nine main sections, the book studies comparative international
policies for regulating these "dual markets" from a historical,
legal, and cultural perspective. It includes an analysis of the
markets for psychoactive substances that are illegal in most
countries (such as marijuana, cocaine, opiods and amphetimines),
psychoactive substances which are legal in most countries and where
consumption is widespread (such as alcohol and tobacco), and
services that are generally regulated or illegal (such as sports
betting, the sex trade, and gambling). For each of these nine types
of markets, contributions focus on the relationship between
regulation, the emerging illegal market, and the resulting overall
access to these services. This work aims to provide a comprehensive
framework from a historical, cultural, and comparative
international perspective. It will be of interest to researchers in
criminology and criminal justice, particularly with an interest in
organized crime, as well as related fields such as sociology,
public policy, international relations, and public health.
