EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This paper contains a draft to the thesis statement that of the capstone research paper that I will write. Besides the thesis statement, it is also going to highlight the data that can be found on the articles that will be used for the final capstone project. The topic that I have selected for the capstone project is War on Drugs.
Thesis statement: The American war in drugs has continued for many years now and has led to the creation of policies that are meant to aid the government in its war against drugs.
1. COYNE AND HALL; 2017
Contains a clear history of the War on Drugs that has been fought by America for many years now. The paper has made an analysis of some policies that are being used by America to stage the war against drugs. On a broader scope, the paper has made looked into the failures of some policies that are being used by the government.
2. KOHN, KERLIKOWSKE & BOTTICELLI; 2018
Addresses the war on drugs with an introduction of the war on drugs as well as its history, Kohn et al have presented a better way that the government can make its war against drugs better. The article has presented some approaches that can be used by the government on its war against drugs. A good example is highlighting the areas of collaboration that can be used by the law enforcement agencies of countries that are involved in the war against drugs.
CONTEXT AND IMPORTANCE OF THE PROBLEM
1. GLOVE, 2014
The article for the capstone project addresses some of the issues that are being faced by the government as well as the challenges that it has encountered on its war against drugs. The implications it has on its partner’s such as Mexico have also been addressed in the article. The policies that have been made by the government as well as its neighbours has also been addressed in the article.
2. LYNCH, 2012
This article describes how the war on drugs has played a central role in US penal change, particularly its racialized impact. The implication of the discrimination in the war on drugs, premised in race, has been felt in many societies. It has affected many fields among them education and security. This article explains five definitive ways by which the contemporary regulation of drugs in the USA speaks to penal change, and in so doing suggests that its reach is much more diffuse, insidious, and variegated than suggested by prevailing conceptualizations of the drug war–punishment relationship
3. BECKHAM & MURPHY; 2013
The paper addresses the positions and steps, achievements and failures of the war on drugs since its on introduction by the president Richard Nixon in 1971. The expectation then was that drug trafficking in the United States could be greatly reduced in a short time through federal policing— and yet the war on drugs continues to this day. The cost has been large in terms of lives, money and the well-being of many Americans, especially the poor and less educated. The paper addresses by accounts, the gains from the war
PRE-EXISTING POLICIES, POLICY OPTIONS AND RESEARCH
1. COOPER, 2015
War on Drugs policing has failed to reduce domestic street-level drug activity: the cost of drugs remains low and drugs remain widely available. In regard to the growing attention to police brutality in the United States, strategies and police-related violence against Black adolescents and adults in the United States. The article reviews historical connections between race ethnicity and police brutality, the ways that the War on Drugs eroded specific legal protections originally designed to curtail police powers; and the implications of these erosions for police brutality targeting Black communities
2. ZARIELLO, GRAY; 2014
This paper responds to the historical relationship between the two nations, and the policies that have been developed on the war against drugs. The War on Mexican Drugs is a now international security crisis continuing to threaten the stability between the US and its economically and politically significant southern neighbour. To assess how this conflict has escalated for decades and effectively respond to factors which exacerbate it, the paper analyses early interactions between the US and Mexico.
