Some reflections on measures of countering the illegal traffic of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues

In the last decade, drug trafficking has become alarmingly widespread. The Russian Federation is also an object of expansion from the side of the international drug business. In this regard, the Russian state and the entire world community are concerned about solving the problem of drug crime: measures are being taken to improve the situation in this area, to prevent not only the spread of drugs, but also their consumption, and to involve minors in this area. Currently, counteraction to the spread of illegal drug trafficking is carried out by a set of measures of a medical, administrative, social and other nature, through which the state seeks to prevent the deterioration of the drug situation. Prevention of criminal encroachments plays a significant role in countering crimes related to illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues. Legal regulation of the prevention of drug trafficking is carried out at the national and international levels. The author notes that in this case, the role of measures of criminal law incentives is great, which allow persons to avoid criminal liability. The author comes to the conclusion that the prevention and prevention of drug addiction is an important stage in countering this type of crime. The currently applied measures to counter illicit trafficking are proving their effectiveness by reducing the number of registered crimes, but the need for their constant improvement is beyond doubt, since the mechanism of criminal actions is constantly evolving and new types of drugs and new ways of their illicit trafficking appear.
