County Lines : Criminal Networks and Evolving Drug Markets in Britain Paperback / softback
by Robert McLean, Grace Robinson, James A. Densley
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Criminology series
Paperback / softback
Description
This brief sheds light on evolving drug markets and the county lines phenomenon in the British context.
Drawing upon empirical research gathered in the field between 2012-2019 across two sites, Scotland’s West Coast and Merseyside in England, this book adopts a grounded approach to the drug supply model, detailing how drugs are purchased, sold and distributed at every level of the supply chain at both sites.
The authors conducted interviews with practitioners, offenders, ex-offenders and those members of the general public most effected by organised crime.
The research explores how drug markets have continued to evolve, accumulating in the phenomenon that is county lines.
It explores how such behavior has gradually become ever more intertwined with other forms of organised criminal activity. Useful for researchers, policy makers, and law enforcement officials, this brief recommends a rethinking of current reactive policing strategies.
