It discusses the extent of social media usage in trafficking of medicines; the ease of access; visibility of the content; language of posts; products most traded; and types of posts. Research results support the hypothesis of the limited impact of these measures, due not to a lack of effectiveness but to asymmetrical implementation. This volume will be of interest to researchers, law enforcement, policy makers, social media groups, public health practitioners. .SpringerBriefs in Criminology,2192-8541Organized crimeCriminologyComputer crimesOrganized CrimeCrime Control and SecurityCybercrimeOrganized crime.Criminology.Computer crimes.Organized Crime.Crime Control and Security.Cybercrime.364.13365Baratto Gabriele932034MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910863156803321The illegal trade of medicines on social media2096623UNINA
