- W3141781301 abstract "This piece fills an important gap in the debate between advocates of tough drug law enforcement policies and critics who counter that such policies indisproportionately impact African Americans and their communities. Neither side supports its respective position with critical data to answer what are necessarily empirical questions. This piece takes a step toward providing that data by empirically assessing how African Americans mediate the dilemma of being victimized by the problems associated with illegal drug use and marketing while at the same time being victimized by the high costs of drug law enforcement. The data show that African American views are too complex to be captured by a single-faceted policy that either favors or rejects tough drug law enforcement outright. Paradoxically, the data reveal that African Americans favor a criminal response to the drug problem while simultaneously disfavoring harsher sentences for criminal offenders. The paper argues that the current drug law enforcement policy, which relies heavily on tough sentences, does not respond to the sensibilities of African Americans. It also argues that opponents of the get-tough-on-drug-crime policies underestimate African American support for a criminal justice response to the drug problem they experience. The paper concludes by calling for policies that better conform to the attitudes of the African American community, arguing that such policies will ultimately be more effective than current ones." @default.
