Drug Enforcement Administration

IS DRUG ENFORCEMENT RACIALLY BIASED? We have been involved in what former President Richard Nixon called the “War on Drugs” since a press conference he held on June 18, 1971. President Nixon declared drug abuse “public enemy number one”. If you look at statistics, you can see who has been arrested since that time and for what types of drug crimes. You can also find out who and where drug offenders are incarcerated for their crimes. Are the numbers disproportionate by race, gender, or location? Now remember that when you research this topic you may use statistics but you have to intertwine facts about your topic gained from reading sociological sources. Write one page about this.
