Illicit use of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors is dangerous to human health and society. This causes changes in behavior, emotional state and can cause severe psychological disorders. It also undermines the social structure of the community. Due to their effect on the brain, drugs can be addictive, leading to loss of interest in many areas of life. Drugs are under national and international control to prevent the negative health and social consequences of drug abuse. Given the fact that minors are important stakeholders in the system of state policy to combat drug use and distribution, there is no doubt that there are certain specific features of drug addiction among minors depending on the country's geographical location, drug policy, drug or psychotropic substance sales and cultural factor. For example, drug-addicted juveniles are addressed at the state level, such policies are aimed at responding quickly to the increasing number of juvenile crimes committed by juveniles in society, and it is young people who are often the focus of drug policy decisions. There are a number of initiatives and activities aimed at better understanding the specifics of drug use among young people. However, the analysis of minors' opinions and ideas about programs and control measures aimed at reducing the harm caused by drug use is currently limited. As in all areas of public policy, adequate consultation with all relevant stakeholders is an important part of the process of effectively developing measures to combat drug trafficking. Therefore, the main administrative and legal measures to combat juvenile delinquency in relation to illicit trafficking, use and distribution of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors were identified. The main authorized subjects and their role in the development and implementation of effective measures of administrative and legal nature to reduce the use, distribution and circulation of drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors among minors are also identified.

This chapter examines the origins of the global drug control regime that was established between 1961 and 1988, the cornerstone of which is the Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances 1988 (the Trafficking Convention). It attempts to explain how the humanistic and philanthropic enterprise represented by the Trafficking Convention and supported by overwhelming international sentiment has become distorted by state policy and organised crime to become the source of wars, offending, disease, and loss of life on an unprecedented scale. It suggests that the unremittingly penal and prohibitive approach to the problem of illicit drugs represented by the Trafficking Convention has served only to magnify the criminality associated with drug trafficking and it concludes by considering the ways in which states have sought to escape from the Convention’s restrictions as well as investigating contemporary moves for reform.

Prevention occupies a leading place in the legal means of combating crimes in the field of drug trafficking, along with the detection, detection, investigation, appointment and serving of punishment for their commission, and so on. Exemptions from criminal liability have the task of providing legal protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, property, public order and public safety, environment, constitutional system of Ukraine from criminal encroachments, ensuring peace and security of mankind, as well as crime prevention (Part 1 of Art. 1 Criminal Code). Chapter XIII of the Special Part of the Criminal Code “Crimes in the field of trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues or precursors and other crimes against public health” contains five types of exemption from criminal liability. They, as well as general types of exemption from criminal liability, in their content have common features: 1) are carried out exclusively by the court on behalf of the state; 2) apply to the person who committed the crime; 3) consist in refusal of official condemnation, sentencing and recognition of a person as a convict. In drug cases, the most common are Articles 307 and 309 of the Criminal Code. According to Art. 307 for the last year 4 865 persons were condemned, and Art. 309 – 15 137. While in 2017 there were 2 758 and 13 682 such persons, respectively. It is concluded that the special exemption from criminal liability as a means of preventing crimes in the field of drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, their analogues or precursors is aimed at self-disclosure of persons who committed minor crimes in the field of drug trafficking, as well as revealing the source of their acquisition or otherwise obtained. In addition, the prevention of drug trafficking is carried out by facilitating the detection of crimes related to drug trafficking. Special exemption from criminal liability, in the case of a certain set of positive post-criminal behavior in the field of drug trafficking, is imperative for the court and final for the perpetrator, and the person who committed it is recognized as having no criminal record.

AbstractThe Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, or NDPS Act, was enacted to control addictive drugs and prohibit their possession, dispersion, sale, import, and trade in India. Psychotropic agents have the potential to change an individual’s consciousness, while narcotic drugs relieve anxiety. The Indian Parliament passed the NDPS Act on November 14, 1985. Nonetheless, these types of drugs are important in the practice of medicine. Consequently, the Act contains provisions for the cultivation of cannabis, poppy, and coca seeds and the production of certain psychotropic medicines used for medical purposes. The Act’s primary objective is to regulate the manufacturing, ownership, selling, and transportation of narcotics and psychotropic drugs. The Act forbids the selling of nearly 200 psychotropic medications, resulting in these drugs being inaccessible over the counter to the general public. These medications are only available for use with a prescription. Violations of this law can result in a sentence of incarceration or a fine, or both, depending on the offense’s severity, which is determined by the severity of the situation at hand. If the drugs are being used for personal benefit, the penalty can be minimized. Furthermore, the legislation has been revised several times since its inception.
