Ferreyra discusses the most devastating effects correlated to drug trafficking such as high murder rates, gruesome violence, disappearances, and mass graves to emphasize how Mexican society bears the brunt of this phenomenon while the United States insists on the futility of drug prohibition. Unlike other publications, this book provides an interdisciplinary social science approach where drug trafficking is conceptualized as a multifaceted social, political, economic, and cultural problem, rather than just a criminal justice issue. drug Trafficking in Mexico and the United States also revisits the war on drugs and provides an argument how drug control is the primary force behind drug trafficking. In that respect, there is an analysis on how the DEA has reinforced the war on drugs model and why it became a reactionary agency that opposes any comprehensive alternative to the American drug problem besides drug control. The author concludes with recommendations to implement forward-thinking measures such as decriminalization, reclassification, and legalization of drugs to effectively address the illicit drug trade. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-286) and index. 505 0 $a What Is Drug Trafficking? -- Drug Trafficking in Mexico: Origins, Development, and Consolidation -- Narcoculture -- The Price of the War on Drugs in Mexico -- Drug Prohibition and the War on Drugs Revisited -- How the DEA Got Lost in the War on Drugs -- Conclusions: A Paradigm to Mitigate Drug Trafficking. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z United States. 650 0 $a Drug control $z Mexico. 650 0 $a Drug control $z United States. 650 7 $a Drug control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01032891 650 7 $a Drug traffic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898722 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 $a Mexico $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Ferreyra, Gabriel. $t Drug trafficking in Mexico and the United States $d Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books, [2020] $z 9781498523622 $w (OCoLC)1163558627 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024744.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=467299000CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
