The National Drug Control Strategy

The three core principles of the National Drug Control Strategy are:

• Stopping drug use before it starts: education and community action
• Healing America's drug users: getting treatment resources where they are needed
• Disrupting the market: attacking the economic basis of the drug trade

Taking this into consideration, address the following questions:

• Select and explain which core principle you believe is the most effective. Explain the ways in which this principle is put in to action today.
• Identify the programs or services that are being used to create an effective policy. Discuss whether or not these programs and services are effective.
• Select and explain the core principle you believe is the least effective. Explain the ways in which this principle is put in to action today.
• From an investigative perspective, compare and contrast the ways drugs crimes are investigated and prosecuted.
