Cap0 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Quote Drugs are often sold on the streets in open-air drug markets. Open-air drug dealing is a complex endeavor between buyers and sellers, who are frequently strangers or only loosely acquainted, and yet must find a way to balance a competing set of demands: access and security. Like sellers and buyers in the legitimate marketplace, drug dealers and consumers in the illicit marketplace must be able to easily access one another to conduct business. However, this is made more difficult in an illicit market where advertising a legally prohibited product would put all parties at risk of formal sanction. Furthermore, and in contrast to legitimate marketplaces, dealers and consumers must always consider security. The degree of security is both a function of risk of arrest by law enforcement for buying or selling an illegal substance and risk of dispute with other dealers or consumers, because illegal markets lack a formal third party (e.g., courts) to resolve disagreements. One way to respond to the competing demands of operating in the open-air illicit marketplace is to conduct business only at certain locations. Research has found that nearly half of all drug transactions occur on less than 5 percent of street segments. Studies have suggested that some locations are better suited for open-air drug dealing than others because of their particular environmental features, such as hotels, bars, or public transportation stops. These have been termed “ecological advantages” because they can be exploited to enhance both accessibility and security when buying and selling drugs.
