...Professor: Name: Title: Date Due: Drug Abuse and Drug Trafficking Drug trafficking is the selling of illegal drugs and drug abuse is the consumption of the illegal drugs as well as other drugs. Drug abuse and trafficking has been on increase in the recent past due to increased availability of drugs to the youths. College scholars as well as the high school kids have been consuming drugs recklessly without taking consideration at the side effects together with the consequences. Peer pressure has been one of the key drivers to drug abuse and trafficking. The consequences of drug abuse and trafficking are severe and hence it should highly be avoided. People have run mad due to abusing drugs like heroine and others have suffered life imprisonment due to drug trafficking. I am strongly against drug abuse and trafficking since it has no positive impact on people and the abusers. Body When an individual begins trafficking or taking drugs, he will have a tendency to convince hey or her companions that drugs are fine. The biggest issue is likely personal inclination. Individuals have a tendency to take after a way that is awful for them. Of course, an individual will attempt the shrewdness deeds. With the accessibility so high now, any individual with quite spare time may wind up going for drugs. Drug addiction does not exactly occur at one go. The human gets to be habituated to such substances just after these are infused into their framework a specific...

...Drug Trafficking in the United States Bethany Chrisco ENG 122: English Composition II Mary Harmon December 10, 2012 Drug Trafficking in the United States “The war on drugs has become the longest most deadly war the United States has ever faced.”(Wright, 2011) The United States has been fighting drug trafficking since the 1900’s and the main dilemma is how to exactly stop it. Some people believe that making drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD, and methamphetamine legal in the United States would put a stop to drug trafficking, but this is just going to do nothing but make things worse for the people of the United States and cause the drug war to begin in our own country. It is believed by some that making drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, LSD, and methamphetamine legal in the United States will stop drug trafficking from other countries and help the United States in other ways. People believe that making drugs legal in the United States that it would reduce the prison population which will save the government money, it will make money for our country because the government can tax the drugs, reduce the chances of drug overdoses because the drugs will be more pure and the amount sold will not be deathly, help cancer and glaucoma patients, and stop trafficking and smuggling from other countries. This all may be true in some ways but making these drugs legal would just cause more problems within the United States and for our people. These problems vary...

...Name: Class: Teacher: Topic: Alcohol and Drug Abuse Drug Abuse. Physiological Effects * Physiological effects of drug abuse vary by the type of drug. Stimulants, such as amphetamines, can delay sleep and elevate a person's mood, but high amounts can cause nervousness and anxiety in the user. Depressants, by contrast, impair mental and physical functions, and slow neural activity in the brain. With some drugs, especially narcotics such as opium or heroin, the body can build a tolerance in which it adjusts to the drug's presence. Over time, the body requires higher doses to maintain the same effect. When an abuser stops taking the drug, the body experiences withdrawal symptoms, such as feeling weak or sick. Withdrawal symptoms are the body's reaction to the absence of the drug to which it had become adjusted. Social Effects * The social effects of drug abuse begin with abusers and their families. Substance abuse has been a factor in divorce, family violence and related problems. The social effects extend into the larger society, as well, such as through crimes committed by drug abusers to get money needed to feed drug habits. Further, the lucrative nature of drug trafficking fuels crime as rival drug gangs fight for control of the traffic. The U.S. government, for example, noted increased drug-related violence on the U.S.-Mexico border and cited drug gangs in these areas as the nation's leading organized crime threat Economic Effects * Reports...

...Plan of Action to Combat Human Trafficking Abstract Human trafficking is a crime that without the proper direction will cost the human being the right to have freedom. Every person has the right to choose and not fall into being victimized by someone who is in the pursuit of indentured servitude. This billion-dollar industry is aiding the criminal acts such as drug trafficking and production, sexual assault, sexual rape (male or female), and most of all abuse and neglect of all the victims involved. Most people want to believe that human trafficking is non-existent and only happens to victims who are participating in any illegal enterprise. The ugly truth is that most people who have been trafficked did not know the ramifications of the decisions that they were making because of the promises that were falsely given to them by their captives (smugglers). The need for a plan of action to combat human trafficking is one that must not be taken lightly. If it were as simple as people think, then it would have never been an issue to begin with. Plan of Action to Combat Human Trafficking The discussion of human trafficking is one that has taken place throughout the time that man has been in civilized existence. Human trafficking is one of the most horrific acts that a person could ever go through and/or encounter. These victims are slaves and live in servitude until they break free or die in some instances. Many people would like to believe that this is something that happens...

...social problem is a social condition (such as poverty) or a pattern of behavior (such as drug abuse) that harms some individuals or all people in a society and that a sufficient number of people believe warrants public concern and collective action to bring about action. According to Crone, J. (2007) a social problem exists when people subjectively perceive and have empirical evidence to show that social conditions combined at a local, societal, or global level to cause personal problems. It is therefore an undesirable condition that people believe should be corrected. A social policy therefore refers to guidelines or intervention for changing, maintenance and creation of conditions of living conducive for human welfare. It is also an instrument applied by governments to regulate and supplement market institutions and social structures. Social policy is often defined as social services such as education, health, employment, and social security. According to the World Drug Report 2014, in 2012, Uganda has been identified by European countries as an origin for drug traffickers. Uganda is therefore in the international spotlight over drug trafficking. For example, Two Ugandans, Omar Ddamulira and Andrew Ham Ngobi had in May and June 2014 been executed in Guandong Province, China after being convicted of drug trafficking offences. The two men and 21 other Ugandans had been convicted of drug...

...Human Trafficking Human trafficking is a problem that is suffered all over the world. Contrary to what many believe, human trafficking is not just a problem that affects women. Human trafficking affects women, men and children all; and not just in the United States all over the world. Human trafficking comes in forms of work labor, sex-trafficking or both.

Children are unfortunately one of the most common victims of trafficking.

...because it has helped reduce significantly human and drug trafficking in America. It helps give a sense of security. Just how there are these advantages having a border fence, there is also a negative effect towards the country like the cost of money that goes to the fence and employ border patrols. To solve theses it would be good to keep the border fence and should not be taken down. It helps Americans to protect their country from entering or reducing problems. “The Border Fence is already making a difference”, says Chris Simcox (2012). Local reports indicate that drug trafficking has already been reduced. He said that there are “fewer vehicles in the area where the fence is under construction proving again that having a presence and taking positive steps to do something to secure the border reduces the flow of illegal aliens, potential terrorists, drug and human traffickers, murderers, rapists and thieves in these areas”. Which, it has been getting harder for smugglers to bring in illegal drugs in or out of the country. There haves been many people getting caught trying to cross drugs in to the country and are been arrested for it.

...By: Crystal Busscher 5th hour Sex Slaves The Burmese government has committed serious abuses and blocked humanitarian aid to tens of thousands of displaced civilians since June 2011, in fighting in Burma's northern Kachin State, Human Rights Watch said. Some 75,000 ethnic Kachin displaced persons and refugees are in desperate need of food, medicine, and shelter, Human Rights Watch said. In Burma, the Burmese army have been attacking villages, razed homes, pillaged properties, and forcing the displacement of tens of thousands of people. The soldiers have threatened and also tortured civilians during interrogations and raped women. They also are forcing people even children as young as 14 years old to work in the mines. The Kachin civilians say that they are also forcing them to work on the front lines for the Burmese army, enduring torture, and being fired upon by the soldier. Human Rights Watch traces the women and girls' cross-border transport and their confinement in illegal brothels throughout Thailand where they are forced to work off their debt, often with 100 percent interest, through what amounts to sexual servitude. In addition to debt bondage, the women and girls face a wide range of abuses, including illegal confinement; forced labor; rape; physical abuse; exposure to HIV/AIDS; and, in some cases, murder. The Burmese women and girls work ten to eighteen hours a day, twenty-five days a month with anywhere from 5-15 clients a day. Health care and birth control...

...Non Technical Executive Summary: Police Drug Seizures Effects on Admission into Drug Treatment Facilities The United States executes yearly reports on illegal drug activity. These reports contain statistical information on supply estimates of four major illegal drugs (cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine). The data retrieved from police seizures on illegal drugs constitute important information to formulate policy, execution, and monitoring. Estimations have been difficult to develop due to unreliability of the nature of drug production and trafficking. Credibility has been sustained due to new approaches developed within the last decade. Evolution of methodologies due to the inadequacy of methods in the past which produced contradiction based upon supported evidence presented in the United States. Methodologies have been confirmed as more useful for long term changes as year to year variation have made conclusions inadequate (Cala, 2012). The Office of National Drug Control Policy sponsored research to update previously published estimates of illegal drug availability on the streets based on both demand and supply data. The demand-based methodology estimates the magnitude of drugs by calculating consumption based on surveys of drug use and frequency. Drug Availability Estimates in the United States (DAEUS), estimates the magnitude of drugs based on supply indicators such as potential production estimates and seizures (Cala, 2012). The studies contribute to prevention...

...AGAINST THE WORLD DRUG PROBLEM I. INTRODUCTION Today it is generally recognized that drugs, along with organized crime that comes with it, jeopardize the development of many resolutions in our world. It is now clear to several organizations that drug control must become an essential element of our joint efforts to achieve peace, security and development. At the same time, we must reinforce our commitment to shared responsibility and the basic principles of health and human rights. The 2011 World Drug Report documents developments in global drug markets and tries to explain the factors that drive them. Its analysis of trends and emerging challenges informs national and international drug and crime priorities and policies, and provides a solid foundation of evidence for counternarcotics interventions. Drug markets and drug use patterns change rapidly, so measures to stop them must also be quick to adapt. Thus the more comprehensive the drug data we collect and the stronger our capacity to analyze the problem, the better prepared the international community will be to respond to new challenges. Drug use affects not only individual users, but also their families, friends, co-workers and communities. Children whose parents take drugs are themselves at greater risk of drug use and other social problems that harm communities. In some regions, illicit drug use is contributing to the rapid spread of infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis. Drug trafficking, the critical...
