Abstract

Cryptomarkets—online markets for illegal goods—have revolutionized the illegal drug trade, constituting about 10% of all drug trades and attracting users to a greater variety and more addictive substances than available in offline drug markets. This review introduces the burgeoning area of sociology research on illegal cryptomarkets, particularly in the realm of drug trade. We emphasize the expanding role of illicit online trade and its relevance for understanding broader exchange challenges encountered in all illegal trade settings. Examining the effects of online illegal trade on consumption and supply-side policing, we also discuss the harm and potential benefits of moving drug exchange from offline to online markets. We argue for a network perspective's efficacy in this research domain, emphasizing its relevance in assessing trade and discussion networks, technical innovation, and market evolution and vulnerabilities. Concluding, we outline future research areas, including market culture, failure, and the impact of online illegal trade on stratification.

网上非法加密市场

加密市场--非法商品的网上交易市场--彻底改变了非法毒品交易，约占所有毒品交易的 10%，并吸引用户购买比线下毒品市场更多种类、更容易上瘾的毒品。这篇综述介绍了非法加密市场，尤其是毒品交易领域蓬勃发展的社会学研究领域。我们强调非法在线贸易不断扩大的作用及其对理解所有非法贸易环境中遇到的更广泛交换挑战的意义。在研究在线非法交易对消费和供应方警务的影响时，我们还讨论了将毒品交易从线下市场转移到在线市场的危害和潜在益处。我们论证了网络视角在这一研究领域的有效性，强调了其在评估贸易和讨论网络、技术创新以及市场演变和脆弱性方面的相关性。最后，我们概述了未来的研究领域，包括市场文化、失灵以及在线非法交易对分层的影响。
