IS THE ROMANIAN SOCIETY ACCEPTING THE DRUGS BODYPACKING?

Abstract

Drug consumption has ever depended on the
possibilities of producing and transport the drug to the
consumer. The substances in question being forbidden
to produce, detain and commerce, made the object of
activity for traffickers in the most diverse moments of
human history. A less encountered alternative of
trafficking in our country, but mentioned in the
specialised literature as well as in the media recording
the criminal behaviour of Romanian citizens abroad, is
that of including the psychotropic substances illegally
transported in their own bodies. The present work tries
to elucidate the degree to which the Romanians are
willing to adapt themselves to this kind of practice that
has high levels of risks both in point of criminal
consequences and for their life and their own physical
integrity; the main question is how disposed are the
Romanians to become drug carriers?
