Abstract
The paper discusses the observation that young African-American women have a higher proclivity to sell drugs than other races such as their young Caucasian counterparts. The paper examines studies that shows this relationship between at risk behaviors and young African-American women. The paper also looks at research that explores how early adolescence affects African-American women later in adulthood insofar as drug-related problems are concerned. The paper discusses a proposed study that will determine the degree to which poverty and economic related circumstances contribute to drug trafficking in a specific urban center among the young African-American female population.

Introduction
II. Literature Review
III. Methodology
From the Paper
"This research project is designed to identify the primary factors related to the high incidence rate of young African American women who commonly sell drugs or engage in drug trafficking activity in the nation's urban centers. The working hypothesis states that poverty and related economic factors directly impact the study populations' proclivity to engage in drug trafficking as an economic alternative. While this might seem criminally obvious, there are social and cultural implications related to the study outcomes which the criminal justice system must learn to accommodate for such as devising adequate drug treatment programs for repeat offenders that better assess and target the contributing behaviors (Laudet, Cleland, Magura, Vogel & Knight, 2004).

Abstract
This paper is about the drug trafficking problems of the Caribbean. The author examines the Caribbean region as a long standing area where illegal substances have been grown and sold. The people are poverty stricken and sell drugs as a means to make money. The author looks into the Caribbean?s climate and location which make it an ideal place to grow and sell drugs. The people are able to transport drugs to other countries through the use of planes, boats, etc. The paper goes on to discuss how this poses as a threat to all countries because it makes drugs available which leads to drug problems for their citizens.
From the paper:
"The Caribbean is known for its agriculturally equipped weather conditions, which makes for most islands to be very fertile. Many farmers in the Caribbean grow drugs as part of their produce to earn more money. They can then sell the illegal substances to islanders, tourists, and then ship the rest off to be sold to other countries? citizens. This poses as a threat to the health of all people who are able to buy drugs as a result of drug trafficking in the Caribbean. It also poses a threat to governments because they have to use their funding on programs to educate citizens about the dangers of drugs as well as rehabilitate those citizens that are addicted to drugs and suffer from drug abuse."

Abstract
This paper describes the extent of the problem of international drug trafficking. The paper analyzes the reasons for drug trafficking and the changing patterns in recent times, presenting an overview of the major drugs being trafficked internationally. The related problem of money laundering through which most of global drug trade is financed is also examined in the paper.
From the Paper
"A number of drugs including cocaine, opiates, cannabis, and synthetic drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamines are considered illegal in most parts of the world. Declaring a substance illegal, however, does not mean that its use or demand can be eliminated as was so famously experienced in the United States after the alcohol prohibition in the 1920s. It just results in the creation of a black market in which the demand for the banned substances (in this case, illicit drugs) is met by organized criminals. Similarly, the current worldwide demand for illicit drugs is largely met through international drug trafficking-a multi billion dollar cross-border business that links the growers and producers of the illicit drugs with the consumers."

"Introduction
The United States is currently engaged in a War on Drugs, a war that has been waged for decades and which shows no indication of being successfully concluded in the near future. As with other types of wars, this one has fronts both within the domestic borders as well as in foreign lands, and the war affects the country's economic policy and shapes relationships with numerous foreign powers. The United States military and intelligence services are engaged in the war, as are various law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels. Yet drug use and abuse continues to be strong within the United States, and drug interdiction efforts on the international level draw mixed reviews. This research considers the issue of drug trafficking between Latin America and the United States, and examines the political ..."

Drug Trafficking in the United States, 2002.
This paper discusses that one of the most profitable markets in the United States is the illegal trafficking of drugs.

Abstract
This paper discusses the background, problems of illegal drugs trafficking and the methods being used to stop the trafficking of drugs in the United States. This paper reveals that money seized in drug stings and received from fines for drug offenders is a billion dollar industry for the American government. The author believes that completely ending the entire drug trafficking business is almost impossible because there are too many loopholes and too much money at stake for both the dealers and the government.
From the Paper
"The largest distributor of drugs, especially cocaine, comes from Columbia. Interagency intelligence assessment statistics say that nearly sixty-five percent of all cocaine goes through the southern borders of the United States. Columbian dealers send the drugs through Mexico, whose laws are not nearly as strict, and the dealers in Mexico bring them across the border. They come through Texas and New Mexico by ground and California by ground, air and seaports."

"NARCOTICS AND ARMS TRAFFICKING IN AFGHANISTAN
This research paper describes and analyzes drug and arms trafficking in Afghanistan since 1973, places them in historical context, examines their effects outside of Afghanistan and discusses possible remedial solutions to the problems they have created.
Over the past thirty years, Afghanistan has sustained itself largely from the proceeds of a clandestine or black market economy based on the production, processing and export of opium, heroin and other narcotic drugs and the smuggling of arms and other goods. These activities have developed out of the devastation, political fragmentation and economic dislocation produced by nearly thirty years of civil unrest and the Soviet invasion and ten year occupation of Afghanistan (1979-1989), and ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the trafficking of women, the use of force and deception to transfer women into situations of extreme exploitation especially sexual exploitation: Women forced to dance nude, perform as sex slaves, held as indentured servants, perform acts of prostitution. The paper points out that the trafficking of women and children for sex and labor is prevalent in all regions of the United States and around the globe. The author feels that the most effective way to tackle trafficking is at the grass roots level, strengthening local economies and educating women and their families about the dangers of enslavement.

From the Paper
"Robert Merton?s anomie theory explains crime in terms of inequity between culturally approved goals and the means to achieve those goals. The lure of trafficking women is like the lure of trafficking drugs: Easy money and the fulfillment of financial goals. Clearly, traffickers of women do not have equal access or legitimate means of obtaining society?s bounty. Since this is an individualist theory, the trafficker does not blame society; rather he blames himself for his shortcomings."

From the Paper
"Complex problems require complex solutions and it is clear that the United States alone will only be able to do so much in the battle against the enormous international human rights crisis of sex trafficking in children today. Fortunately, the United States as well as more and more members of the international community are recognizing that simply enacting new laws in isolation of more comprehensive solutions will fail to adequately address the insidious problems associated with sex trafficking. According to Mathews (2005), in an attempt to supplement the various legal and political initiatives underway to fight the sex trafficking industry, the United States has sought the assistance of a number of human rights groups and other nongovernmental organizations (Mathews, 2005). For example, Gary Haugen, director of the human rights group, International Justice Mission (IJM), is a former federal prosecutor who uses controversial tactics to infiltrate the underground network of sex trafficking; IJM was recently awarded a million dollar grant from the U.S. government to continue its work (Mathews, 2005)."

Abstract
This extensive paper examines a number of issues related to African-American women and breast cancer, with an emphasis on detection, treatment and survival. The paper gives a brief overview of cancer, the breast and types of breast cancers. The author then describes the purpose of this study, which was to determine the impact of racial disparity on breast cancer survival. The study also addresses socio-economic factors, such as lack of health insurance, and low incomes. The study attempts to identify the reasons why African-American women have a higher mortality rate than all other ethnic groups. Finally, the author questions whether education, community out-reach programs, resources would influence the probability of reducing breast cancer mortality rates among African-American women.

From the Paper
"The incidence of breast cancer among the African-American women is slightly lower than it is for the Caucasian women. In any given year, 95 out of 100,000 African-American women are diagnosed with breast cancer, compared to 112 out of every 100,000 the Caucasian women. However, the African-American women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer after age 50 (www.netwellness.org, 2004). Breast cancer is the cancer with the second highest death rate for both the African-American women and the Caucasian women. The overall lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer is 10% for the African-American women and 14% for the Caucasian women. However, about 31 out of every 100,000 the African-American women died from the disease each year compared to just 27 out of every 10,000 the Caucasian women from 1989 to 1992, but the rate also rose by 2% for the African-American women during the same period."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of a mother's drug use on infants. It looks at the long-term health effects for the children who are born to mothers abusing drugs. The paper then focuses on possible forms of therapy for the women and the children and discusses the ability to prevent the later drug abuse of the children of drug abusing mothers.
From the Paper
"A primary focus has been placed on preventing drug abuse in the children of drug abusers, though prevention is a relatively new field. Therapists watch for some of the precursors of drug abuse, such as depression, antisocial personality, aggression, and conduct disorders. There are similarities between prevention and treatment, but there are also numerous differences. When children show evidence of depression or aggression or other precursors of later drug use, they are treated for these psychological disorders and not for drug use as such. Treatment services offered to the children of drug abusers will provide selective prevention services, while indicated prevention services are offered only to children who show precursors for drug abuse, using such interventions as individual counseling, play therapy, family therapy, behavior modification, or academic tutoring programs (Kumpfer, 1998, p. 420)."

Abstract
This paper examines the race-associated differences in health outcomes among African-American women with CVD (Cardiovascular Disease). The paper explains that African Americans suffer greater incidence of cardiovascular disease, and women women suffer cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease in greater numbers than men. The combination of the two: African-American women, suffer greater cardiovascular disease than the general population in the United States. The paper demonstrates that the above statements are true, and analyzes the causes for this discrepancy in cardiovascular diagnosis and care. The paper then looks at both the demographic as well as the socioeconomic and ethnological reasons for the difference in cardiovascular care. The paper also points out that women experience a greater amount of heart disease, and a lower level of treatment than men. This paper examines the reasons for that discrepancy as well.

From the Paper
"Although death from coronary heart disease (CHD) is declining for both African Americans and white Americans, the rates are declining faster for white Americans than their Black counterparts. According to the AHA, the incidence of deaths by whites from CHD has declined 46% and 40% for white men and women, respectively, while it has declined 33% and 27% for African American men and women respectively from 1979 to 2002 (AORN, 2002). The AHA posited that the lower decline in the death rate from CHD for African Americans was due primarily to heredity and life style habits."

Heroic African Women, 2001.
A comparative essay on two novels written by women of African descent - "Efuru" by Flora Nwapa and "Woman at Point Zero" by Nawal El Saadawi.

Abstract
The paper analyzes and compares two novels dealing with African women. It shows that in "Efuru", Flora Nwapa depicts the image of a traditional Igbo African woman and her role in African society as a woman, mother and provider. The paper examines how "Efuru" personifies all the qualities of a female hero within her society by focusing on her beliefs in the manifestation of spiritual power and strong cultural ideals. The paper then looks at "Woman at Point Zero" by Nawal El Saadawi in which the main character, Firdaus, is jailed for committing murder. It shows how "Woman at Point Zero" introduces a heroine of a different sort. Firdaus is a strong woman who makes adjustments in her life to achieve her wants and desires in life and to compensate for her lack of social and economic opportunity in a materialist and patiarchal society.
From the Paper
"Efuru?s strength manifests itself in her spiritual connection with the woman of the lake and spiritual consciousness from within. After being summoned in her dreams by the woman of the lake and accepting her role as a worshipper of Uhamiri, it becomes apparent that changes begin to occur in Efuru?s life. As a worshipper must reserve ?Orie? night for Uhamiri by wearing white, which may symbolize the purity and goodness in Efuru. With this new stature she has inevitably become more successful in her trade and more logical in her reasoning. The environment, especially the lake and the moon, represents and suggests where the life force and spirituality of the community is derived."
