This document discusses issues related to the war on drugs. It notes that drug dealers do not check the ages of who they sell to and that violence is a major issue with gangs controlling the drug trade. Additionally, it states that over 30 million people have been arrested for non-violent drug crimes since 1982. The document argues that taking control of drugs away from gangs and cartels could help diminish their power and income. It cites sources that discuss how the Mexican drug cartels have taken over 230 US cities and how the war on drugs is an insane policy.

narcotictrafficking
Narcotics trafficking has a much larger global economic impact than human trafficking, generating $322 billion annually compared to $32 billion from human trafficking. Narcotics trafficking can destabilize entire countries and undermine the rule of law as organized crime networks corrupt political systems. It has led to the rise of powerful drug cartels in Mexico and the fall of democratic governments in countries in West Africa. The profits from drug trafficking also fund many terrorist organizations around the world. As a result, greater attention and political/social reaction should be given to combating illicit narcotics trafficking over human trafficking due to its far-reaching effects on national security, regional stability, and the global economy.
Citing Sources: In-text Documentation
This document provides guidance on citing sources in-text for a research paper using MLA style.

It provides examples of how to cite different sources, such as books with one or multiple authors, sources without authors, speeches, and electronic sources. It also covers citing multiple sources together and formatting block quotes and their citations. The document aims to teach students the proper way to include in-text citations in a research paper.
War On Drugs
The document summarizes Amos Lee's essay on the War on Drugs policy in the United States. It provides background on the declaration of the War on Drugs by President Nixon in 1972 and the subsequent aggressive criminal justice policies that led to mass incarceration for drug offenses. While intended to reduce drug use and trafficking, the policy has failed in its goals while infringing on civil liberties and disproportionately impacting minority communities. The essay discusses alternatives like decriminalization and treatment-focused approaches, citing Portugal's successful policy shift away from criminalization as an example of a more effective model.
The War on Drugs
The document discusses the history and ongoing debate around the War on Drugs. It begins by defining drugs and their effects. It then outlines how the War on Drugs was officially declared in 1971 in response to rising drug abuse. The document notes there are two sides to the debate around legalizing drugs, with conservatives supporting the War on Drugs and liberals arguing it has been a failure. Both perspectives are presented. It concludes by emphasizing the negative health impacts of drugs and the government's role in protecting citizens.
Legalising marijuana
Colorado and Washington are experimenting with legalizing marijuana, challenging the international consensus of prohibiting drugs. This experiment may help determine if legalization increases drug use and undermine Mexican drug gangs. It also provides a model for regulating harder drugs. The US federal government plans to allow this experiment to move forward for now, despite being in breach of UN drug conventions, in hopes of reforming outdated drug policies.
Mass inceration within the nation (poli-sci final paper) #2
This document discusses the link between the War on Drugs and mass incarceration of African Americans in the US. It provides background on the War on Drugs, which began in the 1970s under Nixon and escalated under Reagan. Harsh drug laws and mandatory minimum sentencing led to rapid growth in the prison population, disproportionately impacting African Americans. The document examines sources that show the prison population quadrupling since the 1970s, with drug offenses being a major contributing factor. It argues the War on Drugs was pursued in a way that targeted African American communities through policies that treated crack cocaine much more harshly than powder cocaine.
ISM Forward Scan_Risky Realities of Counterfeiting
One of the biggest challenges companies face with counterfeit products is getting senior management to devote resources to address the issue before profits and brands are damaged. Counterfeiting affects global supply chains and can impact thousands of parts or millions in revenue while damaging a company's reputation. A lack of knowledge about foreign markets should not contribute to counterfeiting, but some companies underestimate the effects of turning a blind eye to counterfeiting overseas or see it as a cost of doing business. Counterfeiting is a serious global problem that threatens consumer safety, national security, and corporate profits across many industries.
Can international organizations like the IMF control the externality costs of...
International organizations like the IMF can use four practices to help control the externality costs of international trade: taxation, regulation, broadening property rights, and enforcing civil law. For example, imposing import tariffs high enough to account for externalized costs like environmental damage or healthcare for workers could help level the playing field between domestic and foreign goods. Regulation is also possible, as seen when South Africa ignored patent laws to make affordable AIDS drugs. While expanding property rights and the international civil court system face challenges, civil lawsuits between nations over issues like transnational pollution could help internalize external costs. Overall, while controlling externalities is difficult internationally given differing economic systems, practices like tariffs or international agreements can help reduce external costs if implemented properly

Term Paper
This document discusses the refugee crisis in Central America and Mexico stemming from drug violence and poverty. It outlines factors driving instability like drug trafficking through the region, income inequality, and violent crime. Cocaine production in South America and trafficking routes through Central America have empowered violent drug cartels in Mexico, where the drug war has resulted in over 17,000 deaths in 2011. Widespread poverty, inequality, and lack of economic opportunity have also exacerbated crime and violence. However, the US accepts relatively few refugees from Latin America despite its proximity and similarities to other refugee situations globally.

Adversarial System.docx
This document discusses the adversarial justice system and the rise of incarceration rates in the United States, particularly for drug offenses. It notes that since the 1970s, drug arrests have increased over 400% from 322,000 to 1.6 million despite decades of the War on Drugs. Over 2.3 million people are currently imprisoned in the US, with over 50% of federal prisoners and 20% of state prisoners incarcerated for drug offenses. As an alternative to the traditional adversarial courts, drug courts were established beginning in 1989 to better serve drug using offenders. The document asks how drug courts differ from traditional courts and what the ten key components of drug court programs are.

International drug trafficking is a greatly debated global matter since it is a key problem in global relations. Drug trafficking is described as the global illegitimate trade that involves the manufacture, distribution, and sale of substances that are forbidden by the laws. Drug trafficking is said to be a worldwide issue since many actors comprising the transnational criminal organizations are involved. The undertaking involves many types of drug substances across the world. Such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin together with many other prescribed drugs. The drugs contribute to addiction as well as harming the human bodies, an aspect that brings about the prohibition in many nations. Many nations across the world focus on mitigating this menace through policies, which implement enforcement. Cartels involved in drug trafficking are associated with tipping the power scales back in their favors through seeking alternative trafficking methods. Drug trafficking impacts all members of countries across the globe whereby it undermines both the economic and political stability of nations. Further research is important because it will expound on the impacts of international drug trafficking on the community as well as helping in identifying the criminal networks and routes behind the illegal trade. International drug trafficking has significantly contributed to human suffering all over the globe and hence there is a need for action.

Although substance abuse and education appear to exhibit a circular relationship, it is alleged that education is a key intervention point for preventing substance abuse. Learners who consume drugs may suffer short-term memory impairment together with many other intellectual faculties. It may also lead to impaired tracking capabilities for perceptual and sensory functions. It may also translate into negative social and emotional development which ultimately leads to impaired performance in classrooms. Decreased cognitive efficiency translates into poor performance in academics as well as reduced self-esteem. Therefore, the overall result is instability in a person’s sense of identity that may lead to further substance abuse thus creating a vicious circle. Education is said to be amongst the principle ways through which drug abuse can be prevented despite the fact that the results will be produced in the long-term, it should be embraced (p. 918). This source contributes significantly to the solution of international trafficking menace by offering ways through which drug abuse can be prevented.

Powerpoint of mexican drug war
The document discusses the drug war in Mexico from multiple perspectives. It describes how drug traffickers have built armies to resist government crackdowns and have more firepower than local police. It also discusses definitions of hard and soft drugs, the role of the US Drug Enforcement Agency, and an interview with a police officer about the challenges of controlling the drug business and opinions on how to win the Mexican drug war.
Tim Minotas Federal Drug Mandatory Minimum Sentences Final Paper
This document discusses federal mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses. It begins by explaining that in the 1980s, Congress passed laws requiring minimum prison terms for drug crimes to deter drug trafficking. However, these laws have led to overcrowded prisons filled with nonviolent, low-level drug offenders, costing taxpayers billions annually. The document then evaluates alternatives to reform these laws, including repealing mandatory minimums, expanding the safety valve exception, and applying sentencing reforms retroactively. It analyzes evidence on the impacts of these policy changes in various states, finding reductions in incarceration rates and costs without increases in crime.
Take a Stand
The document discusses the negative impacts of the war on drugs in the United States. It argues that the war on drugs has failed to reduce drug use and instead disproportionately impacts minorities and the poor. The war on drugs generates billions of dollars for the criminal justice system and private prisons but treats a small fraction of drug addicts while drug-related deaths have doubled. Some naturally occurring plants with therapeutic benefits have been made illegal due to the war on drugs despite evidence that legalizing and regulating certain drugs could generate tax revenue for treatment programs and have fewer negative consequences than current policies.
The reasons for homicide rate.docx
Homicide rates in the US are higher than in other developed nations. There are several contributing factors to this, including social problems like poverty that foster crime, drug and alcohol abuse which impair judgment, and mental illness. While the US has made progress in reducing homicide over time, the rates are still elevated compared to other Western countries due to complex social and economic issues.

History and policies behind Crack Cocaine
Drug policies are put into place in order to protect the public from the harm associated with illicit drugs. The intention of current policies is to contain societal problems such as violence, crime, poverty, and the sale of drugs. Throughout the United States’ history, the idea of containing crime and violence associated with drugs has been one of the narratives instilled onto the public. Drug policies has been a means to initiate that containment. Often media depicts drug use and association towards a group of people in order to influence drug scare onto the public (Reinarman, 1994). These groups would be depicted as violent and dangerous under the influence of drugs. Policies in the wake of Crack Cocaine were passed in the 1980’s as many researchers have seen it, as a means to oppress low income African Americans (Alexander, 2012). One method of this oppression is through “target population”, which depicted lower class groups as dangerous and violent, thus constructing the stereotype of who was associated with drug use and thus blaming these groups for society’s problems, which results in containing the source of problem through imprisonment (Neill, 2009). African Americans were portrayed negatively and associated with Crack use, resulting in draconian like policies that not only victimized lower class African Americans, but influenced a sentencing disparity based on a 100:1 ratio between Crack and Cocaine. While the policies passed to control Crack Cocaine distribution, possession and use were well intended, they ended up doing more harm than good, toward low income African Americans in the United States.
When President Richard Nixon launched his war on drugs in 1971, he linked drug use to violent crimes and the decay of social order. He proclaimed “America’s public enemy number one in the United States is drug abuse” this message resonated with the public, as it became known that drug abuse was the societal problem that had to be undertaken (Jareki, 2012). One year before launching this offensive, Congress passed the Controlled Substance Act which created a classification system comprising of five scheduling levels for drugs based on their abuse potential and medical benefits (Neill, 2014).
The ones that decided how drugs were classified were left to the attorney general in the justice department. In part when power like this is given to the courts or criminal justice system, it becomes corrupt as they have the power to say which drug is capable of being abused the most and seen as more dangerous than the other (Tiger, 2012). This strengthened the law and order approach toward drug containment over treatment and rehabilitation (Neill, 2014). The Drug enforcement agency (DEA) was established in 1973 in order to facilitate federal drug control and assist law enforcement.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
