Document Summary
Engaging in risky business: economic crime, drug dealing, and prostitution. Organized crime: drug trade: the most trafficked illegal drug in canada is marijuana. Extensive organized crime involvement at all levels: production, distribution, exportation. Canadians are among the heaviest consumers of pharmaceutical opiates in the world: therefore, there is organized crime involvement to mainly acquire (import) prescription drugs into canada. Cocaine is also a major drug market, imported by organized crime groups directly from source countries (e. g. , peru) Consumer demand for heroin is low in canada, so only a limited number of organized crime groups in british columbia and ontario import heroin from. Organized crime: human trafficking: middle-class females between 12-25 years of age are recruited by males of the same age who are members of street gangs. Females who are already within the organized crime network typically play a role in the grooming and training of the new females that are recruited.
