This book presents a comprehensive examination of the drug control
policy process in the United States. How are policy choices
identified, debated and selected? How are the consequences of
governmental policy measured and evaluated? How, if at all, do we
learn from our mistakes. The first section deals with four
different ways of understanding American drug policy: drug control
as ideology, drugs as an issue of definition and measurement, an
historical analysis of drug control, and finally, drug control as
an occasion for debating the proper role of the criminal law.
Zimring and Hawkins also discuss priority problems for drug control
and provide a foundation for an improved policy process. They argue
that protection of children and youth should shape policy toward
illicit crime, with attention to the fact that youth protection
objectives may limit the effectiveness of some drug controls.
