This book explores the economics of illicit drug markets, the
connection between these markets and other crime, and the
adjustments these markets make when faced with changes in drug
enforcement. Focusing specifically on the most recent escalation of
drug enforcement during the period from 1984-1989, Rasmussen and
Benson adopt an economic perspective to explore the origins and
effects of American drug policy. Rasmussen and Benson argue that
effective drug policy is only possible if we realize that
increasing drug enforcement can be a 'tragedy of the commons'
because criminal justice resources are diverted from other uses and
many unintended consequences are generated by politically popular
drug enforcement initiatives.
