Beschreibung
This volume examines the intersection of narco-crimes, forensic science, and national security, highlighting the role of forensic methodologies in the investigation of drug-related offences and organized criminal networks. It explores how forensic evidence can support the detection, analysis, and prosecution of narcotics-related crime, while contributing to a broader understanding of the security implications of illicit drug production and trafficking.
Drawing on perspectives from forensic science, criminology, law enforcement, public policy, and security studies, the volume addresses both the scientific and operational dimensions of narcotics control. It examines contemporary developments in drug analysis and forensic intelligence and considers their application to emerging challenges associated with synthetic drugs, clandestine laboratories, darknet marketplaces, and narco-terrorism. Through case studies and multidisciplinary perspectives, the book demonstrates the growing importance of forensic science in supporting investigations and disrupting illicit drug networks.
The volume also considers legal, institutional, and policy responses to narcotics-related crime, emphasizing international cooperation and capacity building. In doing so, it reflects the objectives of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16 in relation to justice, security, and the reduction of illicit trafficking. Intended for forensic scientists, criminologists, law-enforcement professionals, policymakers, researchers, academicians and students, the book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on contemporary drug crime and its broader societal and security implications.
