Crises of the Anti-Drug Effort,
1999, a report by Chad Thevenot of the Criminal Justice Policy Foundation,
provides a clear and comprehensive overview of drug policy and proposed
reforms for a lay person audience. The reader will find detailed
discussions of issues like mandatory minimum sentencing, prison construction,
racial disparities, police corruption, the militarization of drug enforcement,
civil liberties, international drug policy, and alternatives to the criminal
justice approaches such as treatment, harm reduction, medicalization and
decriminalization.
Crises of the Anti-Drug Effort
can be found online at http://www.cjpf.org/crises/,
or e-mail [email protected] or
call (202) 312-2015 for a printed copy. Crises of the Anti-Drug Effort
would also make an ideal handout for public events like speeches or meetings.
Requests for multiple copies will be considered on an individual basis;
include a description of where you intend to distribute them and how many
you need, and CJPF will let you know whether they can provide them.
