The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available
to read online. Transnational illicit markets have been transformed
by the digital revolution. They take advantage of encryption
technologies, smartphones, social media applications and
cryptocurrencies that protect the digital traces of buyers and
sellers, posing new challenges to drug control policies and public
health alike. Digital Transformations of Illicit Drug Markets:
Reconfiguration and Continuity considers how the digital revolution
has changed the selling and buying of illicit substances through
increased convenience and anonymisation. Providing a uniquely
interdisciplinary perspective, chapters show how the digital
transformation of illicit drug markets combines a reconfiguration
of how sellers and buyers interact in new markets. Emphasising that
illicit digital markets are embedded in societal structures and
power relations in general, contributors also recognise the
importance of critical perspectives on inequalities between the
Global North and South as well as issues of gender. Digital
Transformations of Illicit Drug Markets: Reconfiguration and
Continuity challenges the field of criminology to recognise the
limits of its traditional knowledge and move beyond the
preoccupations that restrict crime to certain fixed spaces in order
to develop new explanations.
