High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Crime in Washington, D.C. (formally known as the District of Columbia) is directly related to the city's changing demographics, geography, and unique criminal justice system. The District's population reached a peak of 802,178 in 1950. However, shortly thereafter, the city began losing residents and by 1980 Washington had lost one-quarter of its population. In turn, economic recession and decaying neighborhoods led to increases in the crime rate. The population loss to the suburbs also created a new demographic pattern, which divided affluent neighborhoods west of Rock Creek Park from more crime-ridden and blighted areas to the east. Despite being the headquarters of multiple federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the nationwide crack epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s greatly affected the city and led to a massive increases in crime. The number of homicides in Washington peaked in 1991 at 479, and the city eventually became known as the "murder capital" of the United States. ... Read more

Extrait : Le trafic de stupéfiant ou narcotrafic désigne les échanges commerciaux illégaux de substances psychotropes réglementées par les différentes conventions de l'ONU (1961, 1971 et 1988). Historiquement, le trafic de stupéfiant n'est apparu qu'après la mise en place des législations internationales au début du siècle via les conventions internationales (Convention internationale de l'opium de 1912, de la SDN puis l'ONU, cependant le marché des produits psychotropes constitue depuis longtemps un marché considéré comme important comme en ont témoigné les guerres de l'opium par exemple. Ce marché subit une explosion de la demande dans les pays riches dans les années 1970 ce qui va lui permettre de s'accroître. Dans les années 1990, ce marché prend une dimension géopolitique du fait de sa mondialisation. Le trafic de stupéfiants concerne de nombreux corps de métiers : agriculture, chimie, négoce à l'exportation, logistique et transports, importation, gestion des stocks, distribution, marketing, blanchiment des capitaux. Il fonctionne globalement comme les autres marchés de matières premières sauf deux caractéristiques spécifiques : la prohibition et l'inélasticité de la demande aux prix, qui favorisent le maintien de prix élevés et donc...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
Unlike Vincent Bugliosi's Drugs in America, which included legalization as one part of a whole drug plan, Benjamin and Miller, college professors viewing the drug problem from economic and historic perspectives, focus totally on the benefits of a limited form of legalization. The use of psychoactive substances has been "a fact of life" throughout history and, as Prohibition showed, attempts to ban all use will fail. To ease the problem, if not solve it, the authors propose a "Constitutional Alternative" to send all power to control the sale, manufacture, and distribution of psychoactive drugs back to the states. They convincingly show how giving states the same powers with drugs that they have with alcohol would lead to less crime and better public health. This is a novel proposal, one well worth consideration. Highly recommended for all libraries, even those purchasing Bugliosi's book, which this complements. ... Read more
