''' | '''Drug Policy: Prohibitionism and Alternatives''' | ||
1. '''Why is drug policy a topic - or better: why should it be?''' | |||
(Here comes this Scheerer guy, always talking about drugs and drug policy, as if he can't get enough of it. Maybe he is a user. Maybe he is an addict. Maybe he is addicted to talking about drugs like other people are addicted to the substances themselves.) | |||
Drug policy has been one of the most significant driving forces of incarceration in the whole world. It has been the driving force in the retantion and in the re-introduction of the death penalty in the world. It has been a driving force in the infringement of human rights - from procedural guarantees to extrajudicial killings - over the last few decades. It has been instrumental in the US influencing domestic policy in Latin America and other areas of the world, and it has been a leading factor in the destroying communities through the militarization of crime control and in in the process that we are witnessing right now and that I would like to call the process of de-civilization or even the re-barbarization of the world. What do I mean by that? I mean the spread of torture and extrajudicial killings, of government-condoned cruelty. | |||
Does drug policy work? Is it effective? Is it efficient? | |||
