What Is the Impact of Drugs on the Race/ethnicity of Prisoners?
Question by Dee: What is the impact of drugs on the race/ethnicity of prisoners?
Hi. I’m working on my corrections class. What is the impact of drugs on the race/ethnicity of prisoners? is a question I need to answer. You don’t need to give me an answer… I’m just looking for some clarification? I don’t quite understand the question. And the only information this chapter of the text book has given me about drugs is the following and I need to use information from this chapter only: “The War on Drugs has diverted attention from the causes of drug use and social problems, expanded the power of the state in light of the rights of the individual, legitimized intrusion of American politics into Latin and South American governments, and not reduced the volume of drug use. William Weir, an expert on gun control and drugs, argues that cynical politicians have manipulated the public to attain their own agenda and goals and, in so doing, created a “dope fiend” stereotype to generate votes. The “war” has increased violence and enhanced gangster roles for minority inner-city youth.” This reading has also confused me… does it even pertain to the question? Can anybody put this information in a more simple way so I can understand? Thank you so much for any help!!!!!
