"Mexico�s Drug Trafficking Organizations: Source and Scope of the Rising Violence": by June S Beittel, Congressional Research Service, updated Apr 15 2013, updated June 8 2012, Jan 7 2011
fas.org/sgp/crs/row/R41576.pdf
Issues: Black Market, Drug War, Drugs
Editor's note: Author June S Beittel's claim that "Violence is an inherent feature of the trade in illicit drugs" is untrue. Almost all prohibited drug transactions occur without any violence, and much of the violence that does occur would not occur if prohibited drugs were legal. Beittel does correctly identify one source of potential conflict: disruption of black market organizations by government law enforcement and other competing black market organzations
