Legalize It?: Debating American Drug Policy (The American University Press Public Policy) - Hardcover
The war on drugs has failed, the only construction boom is in building prisons, and our streets are peopled by homeless addicts. Is it time to legalize drugs? The authors argue the two sides of this issue, examining the connection between drugs and crime, the public health considerations, treatment on demand versus compulsory treatment, the history of drug use in the U.S., and the international situation.
