Advisory Council On The Misuse Of Drugs
In August 2020, the Home Secretary commissioned the ACMD to provide advice and analysis of trends in drug trafficking on the darknet, and how enforcement might most effectively intervene in the movement of drugs facilitated by both the clear and darknet.
The ACMD has since established a working group focused on understanding internet-facilitated drug markets and has since specified its scope into the following:
1.Providing a typology of internet-facilitated drug markets.
2. Investigating the resilience of internet-facilitated drug markets in the face of law enforcement actions.
3.Establishing the effectiveness of law enforcement strategies that aim to reduce the harms that internet-facilitated drug markets generate.
The evidence collected will play an important role for any advice that will eventually be published by the working group. We would be grateful for your written feedback in the attached questionnaire as part of the call for evidence by 26 January 2024.
The deadline to respond is 26 January 2024.
Please send your completed questionnaire to emailacmd@homeoffice.gov.uk.
