Vallance gives a current picture of the American drug problem
and the ideological base that maintains it. The author analyzes
economic and social costs of the drug problem, including the costs
incurred by the recent war on drugs. Reporting the most recent
economic cost data on the drug problem, the book states criteria
for evaluating the effectiveness of current U.S. drug policy and
then discusses its successes and failures. A search for
alternatives and options leads to an analysis of values and
desirable goals for a new policy orientation, followed by a set of
recommendations on how policy change might be wrought. Appendices
show reform-oriented organizations, summarize over a dozen
commission reports on drug issues, and list major current laws that
guide official policy.
