Document Summary
Almost 2/3 of these men"s had small businesses before high level drug trafficking. A key finding, because of the fact they have been business men, they approach higher level drug trafficking the same way. Have high standards, they want to make millions. And their business experience comes in handy, when dealing with customers and money and etc. Have a strong work ethic, and they take that with them into their illegitimate businesses. Small business is obvs not a direct causal factor though. Some of them get approached so with their personality and the enticement of money they get into it. Of all the studies about this stuff, only one other (done in russia) than fred"s had the connection of previous work experience. When you create typologies, it can be very beneficial if it highlights, it can help you focus and be insightful. But the downside is that people may have pre-existing categories for people and that may distort it.
