Organized Crime in Drugs

Abstract

Qi Yaping

Due to the differences of historical traditions and observation angles, drug-crime is treated differently in criminal laws. A key difference is whether drug crimes committed by criminal groups are included in drug crimes. In fact, drug crimes should include many situations, and criminal judicial procedures should be treated differently. Individual possession and sale of drugs and individual drug-abuse has absolutely inconsistent social harm. The manufacture, possession, transportation and trafficking of drugs by drug criminal groups may cause great social harm and even threaten national security. The legalization of soft drugs seems to show tolerance for drug users, but if these soft drugs are still controlled by criminal organizations, the harm caused by soft drugs may not be as bad as heroin. There is a big gap in the penalty application of drug policies in various countries, but the understanding of organized drug crime should be basically the same. Drug trade is not a normal commodity trade. In fact, there is the mental control and utilization of drug addicts by drug dealers. If this kind of mental control and use of drug addicts falls into the hands of criminal organizations, it will cause great harm to national security.
