Planes, Trains, Automobiles, and Art Supplies? A Case Study of Methamphetamine Offenders’ Ingenuity and Adaptions

• In Event: Posters II

Abstract

Methamphetamine is one of the most profitable drugs in the world. It is the most commonly manufactured amphetamine-type stimulant (ATS) globally. In response to increases in methamphetamine production and trafficking, governments have passed various forms of legislation and policy responses to curb the problem. Restrictions have led to offenders becoming adaptive both in terms of production and trafficking. This research examines the various adaptions of methamphetamine traffickers as they attempt to evade detection. A review of secondary sources including media reports and government documents was conducted. A photographic display of offender adaptations is presented.
