El Chapo learned his ways to grow and sell the drugs he harvested so he left his dad and started with other. He joined the cartel with miguel arellano felix . After the Miguel Felix Gallardo broke up the power house cartel Guadalajara cartel into different cartels. El Chapo and Zambada got the Sinaloa cartel. According to the article of “El Chapo:the most powerful drug lord in history” it states “supervising logistics for another drug kingpin, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, founder of the Guadalajara cartel.

    Compare and Contrast: ISIS and The KKK, Gangs, The Mexican Cartel, and The Mafia

    It is well known that the drug trade in Mexico represents one of the biggest industries in that country, accounting for as much as $991 million dollars per year. If- as some have estimated (Chabat as cited by Ánderson 2007) - drug trafficking is one of the ten most important industries of the country, a serious analysis should be undertaken before dismembering it. “Sinaloa is and has always been a state where the money comes from drug traffic. Where else can it come from? The fishing and agricultural industries are broken. We cannot even get money from the mineral industry because people do not want to work there anymore. Drug smugglers pay miners ten times more just to take care of drugs (...).What are we going to do if there is no other place to get money?” says the writer of an article, Viridiana Rios, from Harvard university. Both groups are menacing, but the ISIS group is far more dangerous, because they are way more violent, and have a direct goal to meet.…

    Pablo Escobar: Organized Crime

    Pablo Escobar is maybe one of the biggest players in organized crime ever. Pablo Escobar's savage mind set is what set him different from other drug traffickers in Colombia. If he caught you stealing from him, he would have your hands caught off. Because of so many people after him, he decided to join forces with other gangs and big dogs in the drug trade. This was the formation of the Medellin Cartel. The cartel had great success. They had cocaine running through Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Honduras, the United States , as well as Canada and Europe. At their peak, they supported the world's cocaine. They contributed to at least 84% of cocaine throughout the world. They were bringing in $420,000,000 a week. They were the ones to bring cocaine…

    “More than 5,900 pounds of cocaine and more than 2.2 million pounds of marijuana” had been taken into custody by border guards. In the meantime it had become clear that illegal immigration from Mexico is closely linked to the problem of drug trafficking, the so-called Mexican drug war. Hundreds of unauthorized immigrants carrying drugs are attempting to cross the border, every week.

    Informative Essay On Mexico's Drug War

    As in the December of 2006 sent out by former President Felipe Calderon and then continued under another man known as his successor Enrique Pena Nieto, the drug war stuck out a series of ultimate profile blows against Mexican cartels. Although mean while through the same time, it triggered and caused attention nationwide violence without coming anywhere close to defeating the country's drug traffickers."But this "kingpin strategy" of targeting the heads of cartels has done little to quell the violence and bring security to Mexico. At least 60,000 people are believed to have died between 2006 and 2012 as a result of the drug war as cartels, vigilante groups, and the Mexican army and police have battled each other.

    Drugs In Chicago

    Drugs In Chicago

    This article addresses Joaquin Guzman, a Mexican drug lord, and his affiliation with the state of the city of Chicago. Guzman has created an empire with “near-monopoly control” that is virtually untouchable by the law enforcers of the United States (Lippert, Cattan, and Parker 4). Even through all of the countless efforts from individuals who have worked with Guzman to help the United States get to him, he still remains in power over the streets of Chicago. Guzman possesses the power to have his officials in Chicago to facilitate his business and is able to control his men without crossing the border. He is noted as a “logistical genius” who exhibits the talent to have succeeded equally in legitimate business (Lippert, Cattan, and Parker 6). Guzman, as a leader, has instilled a fear into the people that he controls. He will, without hesitation, harm the families of the employees that cross him and his business, and will inevitably punish the responsible individual. Chicago has now been introduced to a leader of cartel drugs and is experiencing the consequences. His drugs have had countless effects on the city and has notably segregated the crime rates in the south and north side. Chicago’s street gangs and street violence has taken the lives of innocent civilians of all ages and is a palpable problem in Chicago. The territory wars and killings caused by these drugs have plagued the streets there have been efforts to end this problem. These efforts have been successful on certain occasions but can’t stop the process as a whole. Guzman has created an untouchable business that has altered the lifestyle of people in Chicago. Accounts of children dying and elementary school students being impacted by shootings have occurred because of…

    Robert K. Merton's Strain Theory

As I mentioned earlier, most of Joaquin Guzman Loera’s crimes revolve around drug trafficking. Drug trafficking is the number one crime that Joaquin Guzman Loera has committed. However, in order to be able to explain his crime through strain theory we also have to look back at his background.
