Since President Nixon coined the phrase, the "War on Drugs" has presented an important change in how people view and discuss criminal justice practices and drug laws. The term evokes images of militarization, punishment, and violence, as well as combat and the potential for victory. It is no surprise then that questions such as whether the "War on Drugs" has "failed" or "can be won" have animated mass media and public debate for the past 40 years. Through analysis of 30 years of newspaper content, Debating the Drug War examines the social and cultural contours of this heated debate and explores how proponents and critics of the controversial social issues of drug policy and incarceration frame their arguments in mass media. Additionally, it looks at the contemporary public debate on the "War on Drugs" through an analysis of readers’ comments drawn from the comments sections of online news articles. Through a discussion of the findings and their implications, the book illuminates the ways in which ideas about race, politics, society, and crime, and forms of evidence and statistics such as rates of arrest and incarceration or the financial costs of drug policies and incarceration are advanced, interpreted, and contested. Further, the book will bring to light how people form a sense of their racial selves in debates over policy issues tied to racial inequality such as the "War on Drugs" through narratives that connect racial categories to concepts such as innocence, criminality, free will, and fairness. Debating the Drug War offers readers a variety of concepts and theoretical perspectives that they can use to make sense of these vital issues in contemporary society.

Why have our drug wars failed and how might we turn things around? Ask the authors of this hardhitting exposè of U.S. efforts to fight drug trafficking and abuse. In a bold analysis of a century's worth of policy failure, Drug War Politics turns on its head many familiar bromides about drug politics. It demonstrates how, instead of learning from our failures, we duplicate and reinforce them in the same flawed policies. The authors examine the "politics of denial" that has led to this catastrophic predicament and propose a basis for a realistic and desperately needed solution. Domestic and foreign drug wars have consistently fallen short because they are based on a flawed model of force and punishment, the authors show. The failure of these misguided solutions has led to harsher get-tough policies, debilitating cycles of more force and punishment, and a drug problem that continues to escalate. On the foreign policy front, billions of dollars have been wasted, corruption has mushroomed, and human rights undermined in Latin America and across the globe. Yet cheap drugs still flow abundantly across our borders. At home, more money than ever is spent on law enforcement, and an unprecedented number of people—disproportionately minorities—are incarcerated. But drug abuse and addiction persist. The authors outline the political struggles that help create and sustain the current punitive approach. They probe the workings of Washington politics, demonstrating how presidential and congressional "out-toughing" tactics create a logic of escalation while the criticisms and alternatives of reformers are sidelined or silenced. Critical of both the punitive model and the legalization approach, Drug War Politics calls for a bold new public health approach, one that frames the drug problem as a public health—not a criminal—concern. The authors argue that only by situating drug issues in the context of our fundamental institutions—the family, neighborhoods, and schools—can we hope to provide viable treatment, prevention, and law enforcement. In its comprehensive investigation of our long, futile battle with drugs and its original argument for fundamental change, this book is essential for every concerned citizen.

To End The War on Drugs was written by long time Pacifica reporter Dean Becker, a former law enforcement officer who aligns with LEAP as a speaker for the group and with the Baker Institute as a research associate. The book has been revised from the first edition to include the thanks of the DEA and Attorney General Eric Holder along with forewords from both the James A. Baker III Institute and the 150,000 strong LEAP organization. In the pages of this book you find the acumen of more than 100 experts on the drug war who were guests on Becker's radio shows. Doctors, scientists, cops, wardens, prosecutors, politicians, parents, prisoners and many others with diverse perspectives all come to the conclusion that the drug war does not work, holds no water, is destructive with absolutely no redeeming value. It is our hope that the gift of these books to these officials will indeed bring forth a mutual agreement, an absolution for all. We seek a debate this winter, we are requesting that the President, the House and the Senate each select a delegate to form a panel to debate Major Neill Franklin and Dean Becker. What is the benefit of drug war? That is our real concern. Currently under the US-mandated policy of drug prohibition, our terrorist enemies can make billions of dollars each year by simply growing the flowers we fear. Cartels in Latin America make tens of billions by corrupting American law enforcement. More than 30,000 US gangs make tens of billions of dollars a year by enticing and selling contaminated drugs to our kids. 40 million arrests later, with snitches and informants, no-knock warrants, door-bashing, dog-killing, child -threatening, midnight raids with overwhelming force and weaponry, most often for a small, truly infinitesimal bag of some diluted stimulant or downer. Ask anyone in law enforcement or behind the bench to tell the truth and they will admit that despite the expenditure of way over a trillion US taxpayer dollars and hundreds of millions of law enforcement hours we have never stopped even one determined child from getting their hands on drugs. What is the benefit?
