This book examines the drug dealer in contemporary society from an
interdisciplinary perspective and considers the increasingly
blurred demarcation between illegitimate and legitimate drug
markets. It explores the motives and drivers of those involved in
drug supply and dispels common and stereotypical myths and
misconceptions surrounding illegal drug markets and those who
operate within them. The drug dealer has become one of our foremost
contemporary ‘folk devils’. Those who trade in substances
prohibited by law are the subject of array of inaccurate myths and
urban legends. Criminology has tended either to shoehorn drug
dealers into neat typologies or portray them as ‘victims’ of an
uncaring, predatory post-modern society. In reality, we know
relatively little about the complex and diverse world of drug
markets and our concentration inevitably falls on low-end
‘retail’ dealers who operate in the most visible sectors of the
illegal economy. Bringing together an international group of
experts, this book considers perspectives from around the world,
including UK, USA, South America, Spain, India and Australia. This
book will be of interest to students and researchers across
criminology, law, sociology, criminal justice and public health,
and will be essential reading for those taking courses on drugs,
drug markets and substance misuse.
