The chapters in this edited volume include a vibrant mix of scholars from political science, sociology, criminology, law, and practical experiences. This volume is the first of its kind in German-speaking countries addressing the complex issue of ‘drugs, darknet and organized crime’. The multidisciplinary approaches to the new phenomenon demonstrate that cryptomarkets poses a multi-layered challenge. Classical concepts like ‘organized crime’ need to be expanded and call for new explanatory approaches. Organisational structures of anonymous online drug markets must be reassessed. Likewise, the development of cryptomarkets has implications for drug policy regarding drug prevention, drug counselling, criminal investigation and the judiciary. Finally, the question arises how to best regulate both offline and online drug markets. In view of those challenges, the various contributions in this reader deal with actors, underlying structures and economic transactions on drug markets in the Internet.

In Brazil, organized crime, unfortunately, finds a fertile field that allows its growth and development due to several different aspects. Also, the vast and continental dimension of the Brazilian territory, the evident social inequality, and in many cases, the lack of synergy and collaboration among municipal, provincial, and federal levels are problems. It is important to mention that, in recent times, via its main institutions—executive, legislative, and judiciary—Brazil has been organizing itself and trying to tackle corruption on different fronts, with the use of advanced technology, new procedures of criminal investigation, an increased collaboration between different players and internal cooperation, the celerity in the process of penal persecution, and the revision of laws related to the theme. This chapter aims at displaying technological innovations that have helped law enforcement to act with rigor, speed, and assertiveness in the production of evidence from digital evidence, while respecting the Brazilian Constitution, individual rights, and guarantees of every citizen.

Cold Turkey

This essay argues that policies aimed at suppressing drug use exacerbate the nation's opioid problem. It neither endorses drug use nor advocates legalizing the consumption and sale of all substances in all circumstances. Instead, it contends that trying to suppress drug markets is the wrong goal, and in the midst of an addiction crisis it can be deadly. There is no single, correct drug policy; the right approach depends crucially on the substance at issue, the patterns of use and supply, and the jurisdiction's culture, institutions, and material resources. Decriminalization is no panacea for a nation's drug problems. Nevertheless, either de jure or de facto decriminalization of personal drug possession is a necessary condition for mitigating this crisis.

This article examines research on upper level drug traffickers in the U.S., the UK, Canada, and the Netherlands. Included is an analysis and critique of typologies of drug traffickers and theoretical models of organized crime as they apply to upper level drug networks. Studies of higher level drug trafficking indicate that drug markets represent informal and loosely organized associations of relatively small syndicates or crews of independent drug entrepreneurs. They compete for market share and deal primarily or exclusively with trusted associates chosen from ethnic, kinship, and friendship networks. Most dealers are highly cautious, eschew the use of violence, typically make huge profits, attempt to maintain a low profile, rationalize their conduct as business activity, and operate within geographically niche markets.

Winter Time

There are now more than 15 years of experience with horizontal subsurface flow systems in the German speaking countries, covering the results of research projects and also that of practical daily maintenance. Till now some 50 - 100 horizontal flow systems with more than 50 pe in the German speaking countries are built. Approximately half of these use sand as filter material. The results show that the purification efficiency of these systems is in the order of that of good working conventional sewage plants, not only for BOD5 and COD, but also for nitrogen and phosphorus. Very high elimination efficiencies far better than 90% for BOD, COD and P are easily possible; similarly for elimination of N, when loading rates are below 20 mm/d, or the area is larger than 10 m2/pe. Generally there seem to be few problems with winter time and with clogging. The operation of these systems is easy and inexpensive. In nearly all reed beds Phragmites was predominant after a few years. For the planting of Phragmites an easy method using halm-cuttings is given. The long term experience with the reported systems allows us to give recommendations for design, construction and maintenance.

Abstract Framed by the limited and now dated ethnographic research on the prison drug economy, this article offers new theoretical and empirical insights into how drugs challenge the social order in prisons in England and Wales. It draws on significant original and rigorous ethnographic research to argue that the ‘era of hard drugs’ has been superseded by an ‘era of new psychoactive drugs’, redefining social relations, transforming the prison illicit economy, producing new forms of prison victimization and generating far greater economic power and status for suppliers. These changes represent the complex interplay and compounding effects of broader shifts in political economy, technological advances, organized crime, prison governance and the declining legitimacy and moral performance of English and Welsh prisons.

Special Value

The extraordinary character of the drug industry and drug markets arises from the fact that research-intensive exchange-values are combined with exceptional use-values. The special form of circulation of drugs can be viewed as the outcome of this special “value-character.” The roots of the peculiarities of drugs and drug history are in the exceptional use-values of drugs. They are partly explained by the special position which health and illness occupy in the hierarchy of human needs and partly by the logic of developed capitalism which has generated new use-values for the drugs. The purpose of this article is to examine the origin and development of these questions and the implications which these peculiarities have for modern drug policy.
