It builds upon the groundwork completed in the previous edition published in 2013, and develops the themes and concepts to give an improved insight into this dynamic policy-relevant field. The coupling of Europol’s expertise and knowledge of criminal networks with the EMCDDA’s holistic overview of the drug situation helps to separate important signals from the ever-present noise.
