Abstract

In modern societies it is easy to recognise that consuming drugs is an every day reality; not only taking heroin or marijuana, but also smoking, taking painkillers, having a coffee, a tea or abusing of alcohol for Saturday as a required "Saturday night" obligation. The illegal drug market remains a major income of the international but also national organised crime. Obviously, so could be said about the market of so-called legal drugs which involve the main pharmaceutical firms, or the powerful producers of tobacco, alcohol. My study will tend mainly to focus on the impact of the illegal drugs. Transporting, producing, dealing, consuming any kind of illegal substances is only a part of the offences drugs can induce. Entering the web of drug can lead to a lot of different sorts of violent, sometimes desperate behaviours like assaulting or prostituting to fund the demanding habit. drug related offences can never be considered as a single local event, without connecting it with its environmental reality. Of course the reality of the individuals involved is more than relevant to the study of this plague, but it is important to understand the links of this special addict with the surrounding society. Behind the dealer of the neighbourhood or the provider of ecstasy in the next door college, lies the worldwide structure making it possible.
