Abstract

his study adopts an integrative approach, combining quantitative and quantitative analysis
based on Court judgments to uncover trends, dynamics and projections in the illegal drug
trade. A quantitative analysis offers insight into drug specialisations. A Computer-Assisted
Qualitative Document Analysis Software unveils socio-economic changes in a newly pivotal
Italian region for international drug trade. The analysis highlights the intricate complexities
of this underground activity and assesses the role of organised crime groups, shifts in
criminal activities, and the emergence of complementary profitable crimes. The study offers
a novel understanding of the multi-faceted nature of the drug trade, its impact on society,
and its connection with other types of crimes, empowering policymakers to make evidence-
based decisions on prevention and treatment policies.
