| Résumé : | In this chapter, Peter Reuter describes the huge costs and punitiveness of U.S. drug policies. Government initiatives to reduce the supply of drugs have failed to produce an increase in the price of drugs-in fact, Reuter observes that street prices for most drugs have declined since the most recent war on drugs. Moreover, perceptions among young persons suggest that drugs are more available currently than in years past. Reuter discusses this paradox. He also notes that despite the enormous amount of funds designated for reducing the supply of drugs, evaluations of the impact of these expenditures are lacking. |
