Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je istražiti je li i na koji način pandemija COVID-19 utjecala na ilegalno tržište droga u Europi s aspekta proizvodnje ilegalnih droga, transporta, dostupnosti, cijene, konzumacije, utjecaja na kriptotržište, dostupnost i provođenje tretmanskih usluga za vrijeme trajanja pandemije.
S obzirom na izvanredno stanje na globalnoj razini, različite su se zemlje odlučile za različite alate u borbi protiv pandemije COVID-19. Mjere ograničavanja kretanja stanovništva i društvenih kontakata odražavale su se na brojne sfere društva i njegovog funkcioniranja. Paraliziranje mobilnosti ljudi i društva uopće, imalo je pozitivan utjecaj na suzbijanje širenja pandemije kao takve, ali mnoge grane gospodarstva svijeta jako su patile. Takve su se mjere odrazile i na komponente samih ilegalnih tržišta. Rad će se baviti problemskim pitanjem je li pandemija COVID-19 utjecala na pojavu značajnih promjena na ilegalno tržište droga u Europi. Točnije, koje su se promjene dogodile u području proizvodnje ilegalnih droga, transporta i distribucije, njene dostupnosti cijene droga na maloprodajnom i veleprodajnom tržištu te obrazaca konzumacije ilegalnih droga. Analizirat će se niz nastalih promjena na kriptotržištu u vrijeme pandemije. Zaključno, istražit će se utjecaj pandemije na rad organa provođenja zakona i dostupnost te provođenje tretmanskih usluga za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19.

More specifically, what changes have occurred in the field of illegal drug production, transportation and distribution, its availability, drug prices on the retail and wholesale markets and patterns of illegal drug consumption. The paper will a series of changes in the crypto market during the pandemic. In conclusion, the impact of the pandemic on the work of law enforcement bodies and the availability of treatment services during the COVID-19 pandemic will be investigated.
