Getting High: The Globalization of Drug Crime combines academic
research and the real-world experiences of experts in
drug-trafficking trends to explore the impact of organized criminal
groups and transnational trafficking on the global drug problem.
The book begins with an in-depth study of the pharmacological and
abuse patterns of various drugs. Readers then learn how the illicit
global drug market functions as they examine and analyze the
workings of domestic and foreign trafficking organizations. They
explore the movement of illegal drugs from source countries to
destination nations. They become familiar with global drug control
policies and recent strides in rehabilitation efforts. Lastly, they
explore radical Islam and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as
contributing factors to the global heroin trade. Getting High takes
readers far beyond the familiar topic of drugs in society. The text
is a fascinating journey into the international drug market, fueled
by an insatiable desire and capitalized on by organized crime.
Engaging and informative, it is an excellent choice for courses in
drugs and crime, sociology, criminal justice, and addiction
studies.
