As defined by the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drug and Crime), drug trafficking is an illegal trade that involves the production, selling, distributing, and purchasing of illicit narcotics.

This tactic will be used to intimidate and scare anyone associated with illicit drugs or drug trafficking. The education of law enforcement as well as communities themselves should be educated on illicit drugs and trafficking. This is important because if there were ever in a situation concerning illicit drugs and/or drug trafficking, people should know how to respond correctly and effectively, without putting themselves or anyone else in harm’s
