传统上，街头毒品市场被理解为主要在地方一级运作，并且缺乏当代研究来挑战对其形式和组织的公认思维。本文旨在概述零售药品供应格局的重要发展，分析快速发展和扩大的药品供应模式，该模式涉及从主要供应中心直接向省级卫星地区的海洛因/快克吸毒者进行“外展”销售。我们利用混合方法分析了六个英国地区的海洛因/快克市场，探讨了所谓的“县线”毒品交易在这些空间中的表现。调查结果表明，包括“通勤”、“度假”和“杜鹃”在内的独特供应做法已经出现，外地毒贩经常利用弱势群体，以在这些新“东道”毒品市场中实现经济利益最大化。
Street-level drug markets have traditionally been understood as operating predominantly at a local level, and there has been an absence of contemporary research that has challenged accepted thinking around their shape and organization. This article aims to outline an important development in the retail drug supply landscape, analysing a fast evolving and expanding drug supply model that involves 'outreach' selling from major supply hubs, direct to heroin/crack users in provincial satellite areas. Drawing on a mixed method approach analysing heroin/crack markets in six English locales, we explore how so-called 'county lines' drug dealing manifests in these spaces. Findings suggest that distinctive supply practices including 'commuting', 'holidaying' and 'cuckooing' have emerged and that out-of-town dealers regularly exploit vulnerable populations in order to maximize economic gain in these new 'host' drug markets.
