The authors, Curtis and Wendel (2007), characterized drug markets into to categories, the social organization of distribution and the social organization of distribution.

Still, we can’t completely eliminate drug related violence, law enforcement agencies should attempt to reduce this amount as mush as possible. By straying away from violent models, less people will get hurt, and law enforcement agencies could focus more on taking down the source of drug suppliers while attorneys could focus on prosecuting those convicted of supplying and dealing drugs. I am aware that, as the question stated, the delivery model would make it harder to monitor, detect, and prosecute dealers and suppliers. Despite this, if the level of drug-related violence is reduced, law enforcement could focus and invest more into tracking, infiltrating, and taking down large suppliers. If drug market shifted towards the delivery model, I believe law enforcement agencies would adapt and find ways
