- W323908157 abstract "Between 1994-1996, this author was one of twenty-eight members of a Drugs-Violence Task Force (Task Force) created to report to the United States Sentencing Commission specific findings, conclusions, and recommendations concerning the interrelationship (if any) between drugs and violence. This Essay discusses briefly the Task Force''s goals, development, unreconciled conclusions and recommendations, as well as its ultimate demise. In general, much of the controversy concerning how to approach the drugs-violence problem reflects two conflicting and long-held views of drugs and crime: the criminal justice view, which emphasizes detecting and punishing drug offenders, and the public health view, which advocates treating the drug addiction that leads some individuals to commit crime. Although now it appears that this tension between views may be lessening, the conflict was alive and well during the years preceding the Task Force''s development, and while its members were meeting. Part I of this Essay presents briefly the Task Force''s primary purpose and goals, most particularly, the study of the interrelationship between drugs and violence without presuming the nature, direction, or even existence of any sort of a causal link between the two. Parts II and III examine, respectively, the Task Force''s conclusions and recommendations, which span a very wide range. Part IV concludes that although some bad things happened to the Task Force (its abrupt end and lack of unity), some good things happened too. The production of a rich and comprehensive Final Report could not have been accomplished without such a varied Task Force membership. Future efforts may want to capitalize on group disagreements by producing a report providing majority and minority views so that individuals representing different interests may have their say. Despite the lack of consensus, it became clear that the Task Force''s ideological discord could result in a fresh perspective, thereby offering changes and strategies unmatched by thoroughly unified efforts." @default.
