Introduction

Drug Trafficking In Mexico:

In recent years, the force of violence generated by the drug trafficking organizations of Mexico has been enhanced to many folds, as suggested by a variety of researches and study. The newly elected president of Mexico Felipe Calderon has shown his concern towards this matter and has recently launched an aggressive campaign which is an initiative towards the administration of the officials against drug trafficking organizations and the ferocious response from their side (Abadinsky, Abadinsky,

violence activities related to drug trafficking

2008). Due to these efforts some of the key leaders from major DTOs have been removed but in turn violent series of fights within the DTOs themselves have originated and since then about 28 thousand individuals have been targeted in the violence activities related to drug trafficking (Beittel, 2011).

The trade of many illicit drugs, though are an inherent feature of cruelty in Mexico but the appeal of drug trafficking and its associated violence have changed significantly and now exhibiting even more brutality. Drug Trafficking In Mexico In the last few years, a major amount of public retainers have been murdered by DTOs supposedly including twelve mayors of Mexico as well. This massacre of young people and travellers, slaughters and disappearances of young Mexican journalists,

use of brutal expanse of torture, number of car clashes have gained much coverage by media and is causing the forecasters to interrogate the officials if drug trafficking violence has been modified into something more penetrating and distinctive (Brown, Owens, 2010). Just like any other crime related activity, Drug Trafficking In Mexico viciousness is used by criminals and smugglers to resolve out arguments between the representatives and to help them uphold their employee disciplines and semblance of orders with dealers Media commonly present the drug trafficking situations of Mexico as a disregarding subject. Mexico today, is one of the chief contractors of heroin in US market and is also one of the largest trader of marijuana and methamphetamine of the world (Farrell, 2012).

Drug trafficking and its related threats are occurring more frequently in Mexico are now linked with even higher organizations of DTOs at an entirely different scale. This cruelty is not just creating a hassle and danger around the country but is also being directed towards the governmental officials, workers, news, media and common men. This is undeniably an alarming situation demanding proper addressing and decision making in the country (Fernández de Castro, Domínguez, 2009).
Background of Drug Trafficking In Mexico:
Given the geographic locations of Mexico, it has long been used as an enactment and transhipment point for the trade of narcotics and other related drugs across United States and Latin America. Previously, only Mexican bootleggers used to resource alcohol to American countries during the period of ‘Prohibition In United States’ but the onset of this illegal trade increased many folds after the prohibition was terminated in 1933 (Brown, Owens, 2010).

It was by the end of 1960 that narcotic smugglers of Mexico started smuggling all kinds of lethal and potential drugs on an even bigger scale. During the end of 1980 and beginning of 1990 the major exporter of cocaine and other drugs was Pablo Escobar who used to work in collaboration with highly organised criminal networks of the world (Farrell, 2012). When the efforts of enforcement got intensified in Caribbean and south Florida,

a partnership was established between Columbian organizations and Mexico based drug traffickers for the transportation of cocaine from Mexico into United States. This was easy to accomplish since Mexico was a major resource to collect heroin, cocaine and cannabis which was enough to serve the traffickers of Columbia.

By the mid of 1980s the DTOs in Mexico were highly established and were reliably supplying cocaine to Columbia. At the beginning of this business these criminal gangs of Mexico were being salaried in cash for the facilities and trade they give but during 1980 various shipping organizations of Mexico and Columbian drug traffickers made an agreement where they both settled on payment in product arrangements. The transporters of drugs from Mexico were usually given 35 to 50 percent of each shipment of cocaine but later were involved in distribution as well as storage and transportation of cocaine in the area too (Gibler, 2011).

Many factors combined have affected the growth and development of this violence in Mexico but the security analysts of this place are still tracing the cause of this rising menace and consequently the interventions with the militants have begun whose major aim is to put down and end the drug related violence in Mexico and to dismantle the powerful cartels of drugs that can help them prevent drug trafficking (Haerens, 2003).
Aim and Objectives of Study:

The major aim and goal of this learning is to look at the historical background of narcotic smuggle in Mexico and to analyse the aspects that are responsible for taking Mexico to this very crucial juncture. The attempt of this paper is to study the past and understand the situations relevant to the occasions and then employ them to build and contour a better future for everyone. The initial goal of the following dissertation is to look at those solutions that can decrease the drug trafficking violence on a large scale in Mexico. Not only this report provide information related to backgrounds of drug trafficking but it also identify those major drug trafficking organizations that are operating today on a world-wide basis (Fondevila, Quintana-Navarrete, 2015). The scope, context, latitude and scale of drug trafficking violence have also been studied in the following dissertation.

Examination of various current trends of violence, analyzation of prospects for preventing these brutalities in future and its comparison with other states have also been included in the subsequent critique (Hamnett, 1999). Despite the overwhelming amount of information given to the readers and the data reproduced by media cultures, there are still many questions that researchers are posing and trying to answer therefore the major concern of this study is to use the phenomenon of Mexico related drug issues to learn its impact over politics and economy though synthetic and comprehensive indulgence (Gibler, 2011).
Literature Review
After an extensive amount of research, a variety of sources have been chosen such as academic journals books and newspaper articles from Mexico and other related countries to assess the subject as a part of this comprehensive literature review (Harper, 2000).
