    The media represents Mexico drug scene as a replica of the Colombian Model. Mexico did not begin to traffic drugs until sixty years ago before the Colombians decided to get into the trade. There are two different political systems in both countries; the history and the structural relationship of the drug traffickers to the political powers in Mexico. Where did drug trafficking begin and exactly where did it come from. Nowadays, all I hear in the news is that the drugs were traffic through the border of Mexico. Everything is always coming from Mexico, not Colombia or Cuba. How do we stop drug traffickers from crossing drugs across the border. The lack of research that needs to be done to stop the drug traffickers is another reason why the Colombians have picked up on what the Mexican drug traffickers have been doing for the past six decades. The concerns in the drug trafficking is the historical sociology of drug trafficking, the drug use, and the relationship between drug traffickers and the political powers in Mexico. The objective of this paper is to show the comprehensive vision of drug related problems in Mexico since the end of the last century.…

    As in the December of 2006 sent out by former President Felipe Calderon and then continued under another man known as his successor Enrique Pena Nieto, the drug war stuck out a series of ultimate profile blows against Mexican cartels. Although mean while through the same time, it triggered and caused attention nationwide violence without coming anywhere close to defeating the country's drug traffickers."But this "kingpin strategy" of targeting the heads of cartels has done little to quell the violence and bring security to Mexico. At least 60,000 people are believed to have died between 2006 and 2012 as a result of the drug war as cartels, vigilante groups, and the Mexican army and police have battled each other.

    Pablo Escobar is maybe one of the biggest players in organized crime ever. Pablo Escobar's savage mind set is what set him different from other drug traffickers in Colombia. If he caught you stealing from him, he would have your hands caught off. Because of so many people after him, he decided to join forces with other gangs and big dogs in the drug trade. This was the formation of the Medellin Cartel. The cartel had great success. They had cocaine running through Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Honduras, the United States , as well as Canada and Europe. At their peak, they supported the world's cocaine. They contributed to at least 84% of cocaine throughout the world. They were bringing in $420,000,000 a week. They were the ones to bring cocaine…

    It is well known that the drug trade in Mexico represents one of the biggest industries in that country, accounting for as much as $991 million dollars per year. If- as some have estimated (Chabat as cited by Ánderson 2007) - drug trafficking is one of the ten most important industries of the country, a serious analysis should be undertaken before dismembering it. “Sinaloa is and has always been a state where the money comes from drug traffic. Where else can it come from? The fishing and agricultural industries are broken. We cannot even get money from the mineral industry because people do not want to work there anymore. Drug smugglers pay miners ten times more just to take care of drugs (...).What are we going to do if there is no other place to get money?” says the writer of an article, Viridiana Rios, from Harvard university. Both groups are menacing, but the ISIS group is far more dangerous, because they are way more violent, and have a direct goal to meet.…

    In the early 1980s, Guzmán was introduced to Miguel "El Padrino" Ángel Félix Gallardo himself. Gallardo put him in charge of logistics -- effectively coordinating plane flights, boat arrivals and trucks coming from Colombia into Mexico. El Güero still controlled deliveries to clients in the United States, but Guzmán would soon work directly for El Padrino himself. Although early on Guzmán lived in Guadalajara, as did Gallardo, his command and control center was actually located in Agua Prieta, Sonora. After Félix Gallardo's capture, Guzmán took control of the entire Sinaloa Cartel.[2][8] Guzmán is wanted by the governments of Mexico and the United States and by INTERPOL;[9] so far he has…

    The main problem with drugs in prison has to do a lot with gang control within the correctional facilities especially in Mexico. According to the Chicago Tribune, “Six out of 10 Mexican prisons are "self-governed" by prison gangs or drug cartels.” The commission representative has informed that Mexico’s prisons are overcrowded and the shortage of staff and corrupted staff members is what the main problem is. Of the 430 prisons in the country 60 percent are controlled by criminal gangs. Overcrowding in the prisons and jails is a dilemma that is occurring in the national penal system. Mexico has only six federal prisons, where houses the dangerous cartel suspects and other inmates that are in there for drug trafficking, weapons possession and money laundering which are consider to be federal crimes in Mexico which bring increase to overcrowding in the prisons (Diaz , 2012)…

Nicknamed "El Chapo", he established the Sinaloa cartel in 1989, after some time building it into a tremendously gainful worldwide drug-trafficking operation. Known for his violent activities and powerful influence, Guzmán has effectively arranged daring escapes from maximum-security penitentiaries in his own country, he turned into Mexico's top drug kingpin in 2003 after the capture of his opponent Osiel Cárdenas of the Gulf Cartel, and is viewed as the "most dangerous drug trafficker on the planet" by the United States Department of the Treasury…

    Now that strain theory has been thoroughly discussed this theory will be used to explain Joaquin Guzman Loera’s Criminal behavior. As I mentioned earlier, most of Joaquin Guzman Loera’s crimes revolve around drug trafficking. Drug trafficking is the number one crime that Joaquin Guzman Loera has committed. However, in order to be able to explain his crime through strain theory we also have to look back at his background. Joaquin Guzman Loera was born in a rural and impoverished area called La Tuna Badiraguato. This means that Loera did not have too many opportunities to achieve…
