MOGUĆNOSTI I IZAZOVI U ISTRAŽIVANJU TRŽIŠTA ILEGALNIM DROGAMA
POSSIBILITIES AND CHALLENGES IN RESEARCH OF ILEGAL DRUGS MARKET

Summary/Abstract: Considerable efforts have been made to collect useful information about the demand and supply of illegal drugs at the international, national and sub-national levels in Europe. However, given the difficulty in developing reliable indicators of supply for an illegal market, most of the successes have been in developing measures of demand and the harms associated with consumption. Understanding the organisation, scale, nature and dynamics of illicit drug markets is a critical requirement for effective policy-making and for interventions designed to disrupt their operation and to minimise the associated harms. In this paper, therefore, we will present the problems faced by illegal drug market research as well as the conditions to be met before launching research in this area.
