| dc.description.abstract | Drug trafficking is a scourge that has both national and international dimensions. Being such, it is a subject that merits our serious attention. This paper seeks to examine Drug trafficking within the context of Zambia's criminal justice system. In order to do this, the paper evaluates the historicity of this crime in Zambia and the current trends both locally and internationally. In addition, a critical analysis is made of the Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substances Act (CAP 96). Further, an examination of the criminal justice system, that is, the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC), the courts especially the subordinate court and the Supreme Court is made. The paper delves into the debates affecting the control of drug trafficking. Also, a synoptic view of the prisons service, another component of the criminal justice is made. The paper ends with a conclusion on the scourge from Zambia's criminal justice system's vantage point and makes recommendations on how drug trafficking can better be fought. | en_US |
