Mandatory Minimum Drug Sentences In California
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. California has been considered a leader in the fight for drug control. With its 'three strike and you're out' program, the west coast state has demonstrated its firm stance on the issue of illegal drugs. However, the writer discusses that at the helm of this controversial topic is the mandate of minimum drug sentencing for what some consider to be insignificant usage; as such, people caught with what would have one time been considered a negligible amount of cocaine are now – under new and forceful laws – looking at a mandatory minimal jail sentence. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Bertram, et al/ Drug War Politics
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the book Drug War Politics: the price of denial by Eva Bertram, Morris Blachman, Kenneth Sharpe and Peter Andreas. This is a very unusual book. Unlike most volumes on this topic, it does not reiterate the various facts and arguments about how the war against drugs has been fought. Rather, the authors of this book attempt to examine the conceptual systems and paradigms that control the government's attitudes on drugs, and they also attempt to rationally examine alternative methods of coping with drug problems within our society. No other sources cited.
