Drug impact Zones
Drug impact zones, sometimes referred to as drug hot spots, is a theorem of criminology by Dr. George Rengert of Temple University that deals with the geographic locations of illegal drug markets and how they sustain business and profitability with little to no interference from law enforcement or the general public. Location and economic situations in neighborhoods surrounding the markets play a major role in determining where and how these drug markets are operated. Illegal drug markets tend to be spatially concentrated and locations depend on whether the customers it is servicing are local or regional.[1] A market has to be strategically opened and ran in order to serve the customers it is looking for without attracting unwanted attention from competition and law enforcement. As well as looking for an optimal geographic location to set up shop, markets have to be spaced out according to the customer’s location, good locations allow for ready access, bring in large amounts of customers and increase potential sales.[2]
