A Discussion on the Rockefeller Drug Laws
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
This 8 page paper examines the war on drugs with particular attention to the 1973 statutes that were purported to be the toughest drug laws in the country. While New York law is the focus of the paper, the result of the law is evaluated with use of prison statistics from the state. A fair view is taken, but the paper leans towards the idea that these mandatory sentencing laws were not warranted. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
