U.S. BORDER ENFORCEMENT: DRUGS, MIGRANTS, AND THE RULE OF LAW |
47 Villanova Law Review 897 (2002) |
OVER the last few decades, law enforcement efforts to control the U.S. borders have focused on drugs and illegal immigrants. While the North American Free Trade Agreement encouraged the free flow of capital and goods across American borders, the United States almost simultaneously with the trade pact's approval took aggressive steps in the name of... |

The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution gave black men the right to vote five years after the Civil War ended.

As this symposium convenes President Bill Clinton has on his desk, awaiting his signature, a bill that provides for harsh mandatory minimum sentences for possession and sale of methamphetamine but not for the closely related club drug Ecstasy. Speed tends to be a drug of choice for poor Hispanics while Ecstasy is used by middle-class whites,... |

DRUGS IN CINEMA: SEPARATING THE MYTHS FROM REALITY |
9 UCLA Entertainment Law Review 139 (Fall 2001) |
American society has always had a conflicted attitude towards mood-altering drugs, characterized by fear on the one hand and curiosity on the other. During different times, one attitude or the other - fear or curiosity - seems to predominate. Periods of tolerance and benign outlook are followed by periods of intolerance and determined efforts to... |

GUNS, DRUGS, AND PROFILING: WAYS TO TARGET GUNS AND MINIMIZE RACIAL PROFILING |
43 Arizona Law Review 413 (Summer 2001) |
Minorities--people of color--are the main victims of crime in New York and other cities. If murder rates had held steady in 1999 at the 1993 level in New York City, 2229 more African Americans, 64 more Asians, and 1842 more Hispanics (a total of 4205 people of color) would have been murder victims, as compared to 308 whites. And crime has plunged... |

Ferguson v. City of Charleston, No. 99-936, was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on October 4, 2000.

This symposium is about the war on drugs and its impact, but I think that there are really two wars on drugs that we are talking about, with at least two perspectives. From one perspective, I am the parent of two teenage children. They are good kids, do well in school and are involved in sports and music. As far as I know my children are not doing... |

There are 20,000 new HIV infections each year among people who inject drugs, with the burden of the HIV/AIDS epidemic falling much more heavily on African Americans than on whites.

The War on Drugs has led to the development of innovative police tactics in much the same way that conventional wars have produced technological and medical breakthroughs.

United States prisons now hold more people in confinement than ever before in the history of any country in the world. An analysis of this situation reveals that racial discrimination and public policies, such as the war on drugs, getting tough on crime and zero tolerance are to blame, resulting in government-wide violations of individual... |

While many people view the war on abortion and the war on drugs as distinct, there are in fact many connections and overlaps between the two. Their history, the strategies used to control and punish some reproductive choices and those to control the use of certain drugs, the limitations that exist to access to reproductive health care and drug... |

[O]pposing whiteness is not the same as opposing white people. White supremacy is an equal opportunity employer; nonwhite people can become active agents of white supremacy as well as passive participants in its hierarchies and rewards. Some of these kids come from beautiful homes, says W.J. Hunt, chairman of the Los Angeles County Narcotics and... |

In the mid-1980s newspapers began to report an explosion of babies born affected by drugs in the womb. The crisis of drug-exposed babies cried out for action. Prosecutors across the county decided to tackle the problem by prosecuting the babies' mothers. Between 1985 and 1995, at least two hundred women in thirty states were charged with crimes... |

America's current war on drugs represents a misuse of its power and a misperception of the global narcotics trade. In 1999, the White House issued the National Drug Control Strategy, announcing a multi-year program to reduce illegal drug use and availability 50 percent, and thereby achieve the lowest recorded drug-use rate in American history.... |
