Can the military's effectiveness in the drug war be measured

Article Abstract:

The policy of United States Department of Defense (DOD) initiated in 1989 to check the production, trafficking and use of drugs has not shown any remarkable results. There is an indication of an increase in the use of heroine. Civil libertarians criticized the involvement of the military in tackling illegal drug use as they felt it would threaten domestic liberty. The scope and effectiveness, or lack there of, of DOD involvement in the drug war is discussed.

Compensating behavior and the drug testing of high school athletes

Article Abstract:

Drug testing of high school athletes became an issue when the US Supreme Court ruled that middle-school and high-school athletes are required to undergo drug testing as a condition for athletic participation. The rule did not only invade the privacy of the students but also discouraged participation in sports. In addition, such testing may actually lead marginal athletes to increase drug use.

The drug war and the homicide rate: a direct correlation?

Article Abstract:

An empirical study shows an increased incidence of homicidal violence in places where law enforcement activities concentrate on drug control. When more resources are diverted to combatting drug offenses, other violators may free, which may encourage criminals to commit murder and arson. One-sided drug-control policy is expensive in terms of increased losses of life and property.
