“…Varias investigaciones han estudiado la relación del narcotráfico con los homicidios (Bedoya 2017). Entre los motivos por los cuales el narcotráfico produce homicidios en las ciudades se encuentran: el control territorial (Golz y D’Amico 2018); la ausencia de un ente regulador del cumplimiento de los pactos entre narcotraficantes (Uprinmy 1993); los códigos de justicia al interior de las organizaciones narcotraficantes (Kostelnik y Skarbek 2013); la venganza (Jacques y Wright 2014), la apertura de nuevos mercados, nuevos productos y nuevas formas de comercializar la droga (Raffo 2010); los conflictos entre grupos de narcotraficantes rivales (Raffo López y Gómez Calderón 2017); y la consolidación de un poder local (De León Beltrán 2014).…”

Resumen El presente artículo examina el fenómeno del homicidio en Colombia y busca comprender las condiciones de vulnerabilidad que afectan al homicidio en las ciudades colombianas. A través de un enfoque teórico y metodológico basado en la vulnerabilidad se analizó dicha relación entre la violencia homicida con los mercados ilegales, los mercados laborales pauperizados y la repartición de la riqueza. La muestra se compuso de las treinta y dos ciudades capitales departamentales de Colombia. Se usaron herramientas estadísticas multivariadas (PLS-SEM) para analizar la relación entre estos factores y el homicidio. Los hallazgos sugieren que los bajos ingresos, la falta de empleo, la desigualdad y la violencia están asociados con un mayor riesgo de homicidio.

“…Indeed, few of the 157 states that are party to the Palermo Convention have used it as an instrument to facilitate international cooperation. 2 The decline in market concentration in the international drug trade is documented in Golz and D'Amico (2018). Bouchard (2006) studies a sample of incarcerated dealers in Quebec and reports that 60 percent were active in organizations of 2-10 members.…”

Transnational crimes: how nations should cooperate and why they don't*

Chain‐form crime partnerships and intelligence sharing by national authorities to detect cross‐border partners create multiple externalities in the combat against transnational crimes and illicit trafficking. Cooperative enforcements that minimize global harms prioritize the country with lower intelligence production and/or superior detection capability. In equilibrium, as in practice, national enforcements are underbudgeted and might prioritize the wrong side – predominantly the high‐budget, high‐harm country. Governments might not share intelligence out of fear of importing enforcement burden, and harmonizing criminal sanctions alone might not be effective. Shocks on crime deterrence in a target country are first absorbed by source countries, implying weaker horizontal crime transfer effects than projected.

“…They are bound up with the global political economy, though in unusual ways, operating sometimes through influential economic and political entities ( Ferreira, 2019 ). Generally they exhibit resilience to most shocks, showing a high degree of cooperation, networked intelligence, and responsiveness to threats ( Golz & D’Amico, 2018 ). They usually function cooperatively, but selective violence is used during times of competition and disruption ( Friman, 2009 ).…”

The impact of COVID-19 itself and societal responses to it have affected people who use drugs and the illicit drug economy. This paper is part of a project investigating the health impacts of COVID-19 related control measures on people who use drugs in Scotland. It examines their roles and decisions as economically situated actors. It does this within a moral economy perspective that places economic decisions and calculations within a context of the network of social obligations and moral decisions. The paper uses a mixed methods approach, reporting on a drug trend survey and in-depth interviews with people who use drugs. It finds they were affected by restrictions in the drug consumption context and changes in the supply context, both in terms of what was supplied and changes in the relationship between sellers and buyers. Face to face selling became more fraught. Participants in more economically precarious circumstances were faced with dilemmas about whether to move into drug selling. The double impact of loss of income and reduced access to support networks were particularly difficult for them. Despite the perception that the pandemic had increased the power of sellers in relation to their customers, many full-time sellers were reported to be keeping their prices stable in order to maintain their relationships with customers, instead extending credit or adulterating their products. The effect of spatial controls on movement during the pandemic also meant that the digital divide became more apparent. People with good access to digital markets and easy drug delivery through apps were in a better position to manage disruption to drug sales contexts. We make recommendations in relation to how policy can respond to the interests of people who use drugs in a pandemic.
