Abstract

Narcotics is an abbreviation for Narcotics, Psychotropics and other Addictive Substances. Drug crime is an illegal activity and is an organized crime. 1 Drug crime is an international crime that crosses national borders and is a very detrimental form of crime. The author uses a qualitative descriptive research method. As time goes by, the methods of drug distribution have become more diverse. Law enforcement agencies face challenges in dealing with international drug trafficking, namely the complexity of smuggling networks, lack of international coordination, gaps in drug regulations, corruption within and around law enforcement agencies, and resistance from criminal groups. These challenges hinder information sharing, transparency, and effective law enforcement. By understanding and responding to these challenges through strong international cooperation, strengthening national laws, and building the capacity of law enforcement agencies, it is hoped that significant progress will be made in reducing international drug trafficking and its negative impact on global society.
