This book provides a timely criminological investigation into the rapidly growing sale of fake medicines online. Some estimates suggest that the fake medicine trade has now overtaken marijuana and prostitution as the world's largest market for criminal traffickers. This increase has been particularly apparent in the context of various evolutionary phases in information and communications technologies, and the Internet now acts as the main avenue through which this criminal market is expanding. Thus far – despite growing concern and media attention – this extensive, extremely profitable, and ultimately life-threatening online market is yet to be fully explored. Drawing on the authors' own criminological investigation of both the supply and demand sides in the United Kingdom, this study offers the first in-depth and empirically-grounded analysis of the online trade in illicit medicines. Founded on rigorous research, and bolstering a rich area for debate, this book will be of particular interest for scholars of criminology and technology studies.

This is a unique interdisciplinary exploration of the contemporary phenomenon of online medicine purchasing. In this research, Sugiura provides a criminological understanding of the sale of online medicines as well as the traditional illegal markets. Crucially, the practice is investigated from the perspective of web users, moving beyond the headlines and warning campaigns to contextualise the provision of medicines online, to describe this practice and subjective accounts of purchasing medicines from the Web. Drawing together established deviance theories, Respectable Deviance and Purchasing Medicine Online considers the construction of online medicine purchasing, the justifications presented to challenge how it is labelled, and how the behaviour is managed to show how the framing of risks and deviance is challenged online. Offering a much-needed a critical overview of the UK healthcare regulatory system, Sugiura also analyses literature, data and policy documents originating from different countries highlighting that the geographical locations of participants in web forums, online surveys and non-face-to-face interviews cannot always be verified. With broad implications for regulation and safety surrounding medicines online, this innovative and timely study contributes to current online healthcare debates and broadens our understanding of cybercrime. It will be of particular interest to scholars of cybercrime and those interested in the changing nature of deviance.

The adulteration and fraudulent manufacture of medicines is an old problem, vastly aggravated by modern manufacturing and trade. In the last decade, impotent antimicrobial drugs have compromised the treatment of many deadly diseases in poor countries. More recently, negligent production at a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy sickened hundreds of Americans. While the national drugs regulatory authority (hereafter, the regulatory authority) is responsible for the safety of a country's drug supply, no single country can entirely guarantee this today. The once common use of the term counterfeit to describe any drug that is not what it claims to be is at the heart of the argument. In a narrow, legal sense a counterfeit drug is one that infringes on a registered trademark. The lay meaning is much broader, including any drug made with intentional deceit. Some generic drug companies and civil society groups object to calling bad medicines counterfeit, seeing it as the deliberate conflation of public health and intellectual property concerns. Countering the Problem of Falsified and Substandard Drugs accepts the narrow meaning of counterfeit, and, because the nuances of trademark infringement must be dealt with by courts, case by case, the report does not discuss the problem of counterfeit medicines.

Long the scourge of developing countries, fake pills are now increasingly common in the United States. The explosion of Internet commerce, coupled with globalization and increased pharmaceutical use has led to an unprecedented vulnerability in the U.S. drug supply. Today, an estimated 80% of our drugs are manufactured overseas, mostly in India and China. Every link along this supply chain offers an opportunity for counterfeiters, and increasingly, they are breaking in. In 2008, fake doses of the blood thinner Heparin killed 81 people worldwide and resulted in hundreds of severe allergic reactions in the United States. In 2012, a counterfeit version of the cancer drug Avastin, containing no active chemotherapy ingredient, was widely distributed in the United States. In early 2013, a drug trafficker named Francis Ortiz Gonzalez was sentenced to prison for distributing an assortment of counterfeit, Chinese-made pharmaceuticals across America. By the time he was arrested, he had already sold over 140,000 fake pills to customers. Even when the U.S. system works, as it mostly does, consumers are increasingly circumventing the safeguards. Skyrocketing health care costs in the U.S. have forced more Americans to become "medical tourists" seeking drugs, life-saving treatments and transplants abroad, sometimes in countries with rampant counterfeit drug problems and no FDA. Bitter Pills will heighten the public's awareness about counterfeit drugs, critically examine possible solutions, and help people protect themselves. Author Muhammad H. Zaman pays special attention to the science and engineering behind both counterfeit and legitimate drugs, and the role of a "technological fix" for the fake drug problem. Increasingly, fake drugs affect us all.

In addition to discussion of the problems, the author Davison addresses analytical techniques scientists use to detect counterfeits and presents some possible solutions to the threat of counterfeit medical products.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines counterfeit drugs as those that have been 'deliberately and fraudulently mislabelled with respect to identity or source'. The British Medical Journal and the Lancet have both highlighted the growing threat posed by these fake or counterfeit agents. In a Congressional hearing, representatives of the FDA told members that such medicines may contain cheap and potentially dangerous contaminants and had already been linked to the deaths of a number patients in the US. It was also pointed out that the counterfeit drug trade has become increasingly difficult to combat with supplies, often emanating from countries without regulatory controls, now flooding the market place. In some countries it has been alleged that around 10 - 30% of medicines might actually turn out to be fake. A recent editorial (March 2016) in The British Medical Journal entitled 'Can anyone stop the illegal sale of medicines online?' highlighted that some of the most commonly purchased fake drugs were those for erectile dysfunction and accounted for £11 million of £12.2 million worth of illegal drugs seized from April to December alone. Raymond McNally is a product manager for a major pharmaceutical company. Raymond has been recently promoted to oversee the company's most recent product Erexat - a competitor of viagra - the world's first and most successful male impotence drug. Raymond's hopes are high of a successful and profitable future both professionally and personally. However, when reports of unexplained deaths and other serious side effects start to trickle into the firm's medical department, alarm bells sound and Raymond quickly realises that the new drug's future may be in doubt. Initially, the adverse effects are few and scattered globally, so the press and the national regulatory authorities haven't been alerted, ... yet. Raymond needs to make sure they aren't.As Raymond mounts an investigation, doubts about the authenticity of some of the products purchased, often through internet sites, start to arise. It appears that many of those affected may have bought a counterfeit product online. Raymond recognises the threat posed, not only to those that take the fake drug, but also to the company he represents and his own personal ambitions. During his investigation he comes into contact with Harry Boyle, a twenty something computer nerd, who accidentally on purpose, hacks into retail sites as a hobby. But Harry's last hit has backfired and now far from being the infiltrator or potential saboteur it appears that he has become the subject of surveillance and a target of those that control the site. Worse still, he becomes convinced that he himself is being physically stalked.This unusual duo team up and later recruit a Glasgow hard man Michael 'Slab' McBride whose son has been affected by the drug and who initially blames Raymond and his firm. This small group consequently decide upon a series of measures to disrupt the counterfeit trade and those that organise it. Measures which may place their own lives in danger. But, they remain determined to avenge those that have been Stiffed in more ways than one.
