Abstract

Illicit markets exist as long as there is a demand. Countries must also address the underlying institutional and socio-economic problems that can cause individuals to partake in illicit activities. If development is significant and sustained, it is possible that there will be a reduction in those supplying and trafficking illicit goods. This chapter explores policy developments in two developed and democratic governments, Portugal and the Netherlands, and in the cyber realm.
