Abstract
Developments in technology are making it easier to anonymously access sites on the internet,
known as ‘cryptomarkets’, to order illegal drugs. These drugs are then delivered via standard
postal services. Our work uses administrative data to give a new perspective on how drugs
deliveries flow through the postal system into Scotland.
