The much-debated “war on drugs” has fostered many initiatives that seek to
reduce the availability, distribution, and use of drugs through education,
aggressive law enforcement, prosecution and incarceration, and treatment
for those who abuse drugs. Law enforcement officers and, in fact, most people
in the United States, understand that conquering the substance abuse problems
that face our society entails a multifaceted approach through cooperative
efforts. This book,
Drug Interdiction: Partnerships, Legal Principles, and
Investigative Methodologies for Law Enforcement
, does not address society’s
ills in the psychological or social context but simply provides a real-world
view of law enforcement efforts geared to making a difference in fighting the
“war on drugs.”
