Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
A l'extérieur des Etats-Unis, quelle est la force de soutien du publique pour les politiques anti-drogues sévères qui sont devenues la norme dans les pays de l'Ouest. Un questionnaire de 50 items a révélé un soutien significativement plus important chez les étudiants canadiens que chez ceux de Hollande. Malgré les différences, les deux groupes expriment un soutien modéré à la politique anti-drogue.
ENGLISH :
Outside of the United States, how strong is public support for the severe anti-drug policies that have become the norm among Western nations? A fifty-item questionnaire revealed significantly stronger support among Canadian than among Dutch university students on many individual items and on four or five underlying factors. Notwithstanding the differences, both groups expressed a moderate degree of support for anti-drug policy. There were two indications, however, that the apparent support may be "soft" among these students. First, there was a marked polarization of opinion within both groups. Second, opinions changed markedly among Canadian students who completed a course that exposed them to criticism of current anti-drug policy. (Extract from author's abstract)
