Books Sense and Nonsense About Crime and Drugs:
A Policy Guide This book is intended as a supplemental text for a variety of courses in departments of criminal justice, sociology, and political science. Beginning with a discussion of the administration of criminal justice in the United States, the book evaluates conservative and liberal crime control proposals, gun and crimes, drug policy, the war on drugs, and the legalization of drugs. Sense and Nonsense About Crime and Drugs The American Disease:
Origins of Narcotic Control A book more for the student, than the average reader. This is a classic study of the development of drug laws in the U.S. David Musto examines the relations between public outcry and the creation of prohibitive drug laws from the end of the Civil War to the Reagan and Clinton administrations. The American Disease Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed
and What We Can Do About It:
A Judicial Indictment of the War on Drugs Written by a man who has worked as a federal prosecutor, a trial judge, and a California superior court justice. The author informs readers of the amount of money spent, the crime caused, and the lives ruined by the war on drugs. Many people in government, legal, and other positions who are in favor of the war on drugs see it as an easy means of getting some of the billions of dollars wasted on it each year in the US. Putting nonviolent offenders in prison and diverting law enforcement resources that could be used to serve and protect society as a whole might not be a very good decision.
