PROBLEM & MOTIVATION
Jury

Drug trafficking is a global illicit trading involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution and sales of substances which are subject to drug prohibition laws. The consequences of illicit drug use are widespread, causing permanent physical and emotional damage to users and negatively impacting their families, coworkers, and many others with whom they have contact.

Globally, the movement and presence of these substances are difficult to track and control and poses a challenge for law enforcement. One of the main ways law enforcement controls the prevalence of these drugs is by maintaining strong boarder security. The seizure of drugs at the boarder is anything but a simple task, profiling and random guess work is commonly used as methods for detection. However, with the proper and in-depth analysis of trafficking trends we may be better able to control and reduce the slippages of traffickers through the boarders.


OBJECTIVE

With this project we aim to create visualizations that will allow the easy visual analysis of the following:

leaf

Mighty Morphine Power Rangers wants to explore the current drug route and be able to draw some observations on the different drug routes taken, methods used to conceal the drugs, the most active region and the most active day of drug trafficking.

leaf

  • Which day of the week has more drug traffic?
  • Is the traffic more or less on certain days? Why?
  • Which mode of transport is more widely used? Which drug?
  • When is the down period / when is the up period of drug trafficking?
DATA SOURCE

Datasets are retrieved from https://data.unodc.org/#state:1
This dataset provide a detailed information of each drug seizure:

Pros:

  • Gives the viewer a clear idea of what this chart is about.
  • Easy to understand and highly customisable.

Cons:

  • Too high level.
  • Viewers might miss the fine details because of the colour.
