Explain your views on whether law enforcement should be in the business of actually luring outside offenders, who otherwise would not be in their communities, into their communities in order to run drug stings which are often conducted in public places (malls, restaurants, etc.).
How prevalent is cocaine use amongst people you know? Do you know anyone who has developed a problem with the drug (this includes ‘crack’)?
Regarding the flashback, ‘Miami Drug Wars’ why do you think Miami seems to be at the epicenter of all things drug-related?
**Part 3**
Respond to six other students discussion posts (Students responses have been attached as a separate word document)
Example format student discussion responses: – “One point that stood out to me is that the country should stop relying on punitive measures when approaching the drug problem in the US. All concerned authorities should focus on elements that lead to or contribute to substance misuse (Levinthal & Lovins, 2020). I like your suggestion that ‘we should consider the superiority and effects of prescriiption drugs’ because they have a general effect or say in the current crisis. Health system-based controls should be put in place because opioid-based cases of overdose continue to rise.” – “I agree that ‘the opioid epidemic is an example of the disastrous effects of prescribed medicines.’ It is easy or cheaper to buy opioid-based painkillers from a pharmacy because they are easily dispensed and available. This is clear evidence that illegal substances alone are not to blame for the current levels of addiction in America. The first step that can help resolve the current drug crisis is limiting or controlling who gets opioid-based painkillers from pharmacies. Health authorities should develop such measures to limit access or availability of commonly abused prescriiption drugs.”
