Rethinking Our War On Drugs : Candid Talk About Controversial Issues

  • Rethinking Our War On Drugs : Candid Talk About Controversial Issues

  • Attribution

    Gary L. Fisher ; foreword by William L. White

  • Publication Details

    Book, Praeger, 2006

  • Links

  • Description

    The National Drug Control Policy has failed its two major functions (supply reduction and demand reduction) due to faulty assumptions regarding nearly every aspect of the alcohol and drug fields, charges author Fisher. He proposes a new national policy for drug control, including elimination of the war’ metaphor, inclusion of alcohol in the mandate, conceptualization of addiction as a public health problem, utilization of harm reduction principles to guide policy and discontinuation of approaches that isolate drug and alcohol problems from their connection to broader social issues such as poverty.

  • An Analytic Assessment Of U.S. Drug Policy

  • Attribution

    David Boyum, Peter Reuter

  • Publication Details

    Book, AEI Press, 2005

  • Links

  • Description

    In its efforts to control the use of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other illegal drugs, the United States spends about $35 billion per year in public funds. Drug policy has become increasingly punitive, with the number of drug offenders in jail and prison growing tenfold between 1980 and 2003. By contrast, drug treatment services remain in short supply, even though research indicates that treatment expenditures easily pay for themselves in terms of reduced crime and improved productivity.
