Drug Trafficking in the U.S
Drug trafficking is an increasingly growing problem in the country today; more people are buying, selling and using drugs than ever before. There are those people who think it is a fast and easy way to get money, not knowing all the risks or knowing and not caring. This paper will cover drug trafficking in the U.S and what steps are being taking towards our war on drugs. This paper will also have a brief outline of the levels of trafficking. Some might say it is a losing battle or that not enough is being done, some even feel like the focus should be changed but hopefully after reading my paper you will be able to know where you stand. Will law enforcement ever get one step ahead of this growing enterprise? What is drug trafficking? When you hear drug trafficking most people think it’s bringing it into our country or moving it from state to state. But the most common term this is used for is in reference to drug dealing or "selling drugs" on the street. Drug trafficking can also involve several levels of people: the "Top Dog", would be the person that heads up the organization, controls and assigns “Under Links” to deal and decide who sells what and where they sell it. The “Drug Game” provides an incredible cash flow for this person and also the “crew” they usually see a nice profit from selling drugs but they are the ones who take the everyday risks. You will not see the “Top Dog” on the corner selling the drugs. If the "Top Dog" does do any selling it usually is to the big time buyers who want a large amount which is where the larger trafficking usually comes in. Drug trafficking is a very serious thing to get involved with; it is a very risky and dangerous way of life, that can either lead to death or the rest of your life in prison. But yet it recruits more and more people every day and they come from all walks of life. This is where the training
