It's important +to detect and report children involved in drug selling chains. But just +prosecuting children is never enough. What must be taken into account when +prevention steps are being taken and what are some crucial prevention +techniques? + +According to The Guardian, "teen drug-dealing convictions up two-thirds in five +years in England and Wales". Although the rise differs throughout the +countries of the world, steady increase of teens involved in drug dealing is +reported from police and investigation offices all over the world. This is +mostly due to children being naive and so-called "drug lords" took notice on +it, exploiting that for more profit. + +Children with generally no other obligations are lured into illegal work +easier than adults. This is because they are easier to be manipulated and have +lots of free time, especially if their parents do not take care of them that +much or if they are being heavily spoiled. The income, not being taxed and +regulated, will present a huge influx of the lured kids' wealth, encouraging +them into committing more crime. + +Apart from money and free time, children are sometimes exploited through the +use of blackmailing. Adult dealers present them with a horrifying situation +that is to be evaluated should the target not complete a task. + +Just like young pupils sometimes start to smoke in a domino-like chain, because +their colleagues started to smoke, a bit older children might start selling +drugs for not falling out of the actions of their friends. That's a big +advantage for attackers as they will get more and more victims under their +control, however, on the other side, public knowledge of the incidents amongst +the population increases the chance towards someone reporting the illegal-doings +to the investigation offices. + +"The only way to rid society of the trail of misery brought on by the illegal +drugs market is to implement a harm-reduction and evidence-based drugs +policy. The government's move to include drugs education in its +draft plans for relationships, health and sex education is a welcome step in +this direction." + +-- Anton Luka Šijanec, 2. a + 5th of November 2020 + +## Continue reading + +https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/apr/30/teen-drug-dealing-of-crack-and-heroin-up-two-thirds-in-five-years |
