Drug Trafficking

Drug Trafficking increased greatly in last four decades. Racial groups involvement in drug trafficking created significant changes in the operational mechanism of conducting this business. Drug trafficking is considered as illegal in all countries around the world. Severe sanctions have defined to control this business, including life sentence and hang till death. Drug trafficking is given a racial image of black men business, and they are classified as drug barons or yardies in public and legal consciousness (Fortson 2002, 48). Media is stereotyping their racial class; this illegal work is associated with black people race (Fortson 2002, 57).

Different factors have defined that categorize the black people involvement in drug trafficking business. Main reason for drug trafficking is unemployment and racial belongingness (Moore 1995, 100).

It will also include other minority groups to determine their relation with involvement in Drug Trafficking. Outcome will be analyzed by assessing direct relation between employment status, race to which person belong, and his/her involvement in drug trafficking.

Legalization of controlled substances may lead to the downfall of mankind. USA government is persistently taking actions to control Drug Trafficking. It has classified as illegal work, and all people found involved in this work will penalize according to the sensitivity of their actions and extent of their involvement in the activity (Fortson 2002, 63). Americans have long been the most active in the fight against trafficking, both individually and jointly with other countries.

Many factors contribute towards involvement of people in illegal work. For this study, People Involvement in Drug Trafficking Business will be analyzed. Factors that will be assessed include race and unemployment, which influence people involvement in illegal work of drug trafficking. Perception has formed that all black people are prospective criminals who are involved or are most likely to be involved in drug trafficking (Moore 1995, ...
