An Evaluation Of The Drugs Crime Nexus, Legalization Of Drugs, Drug Enforcement, And Drug Treatment Rehabilitation, James Richard Keesling
Theses Digitization Project
Law enforcement agencies are faced with the problem of how to reduce crime in the most economical method possible without violating the law.

A review of existing research examining the prior criminal histories of drug offenders compared to their previous involvement in violent and property crime is conducted to evaluate this relationship.
