By Larry Cohen and Susan Swift "I've seen a lot of people go... a lot of people close to me deal with some situations where they are very close to death constantly." "You see a lot of killings and it's not really taken that seriously. So you have a lot of kids going around not really valuing life." "You just can't avoid the problem. It's not going to go away. If you ignore it, it's going to get worse." I. Introduction This paper describes the dimensions and root causes of the problem with violence in the United States. After defining the problem and who is affected, the paper critiques the dominant policy and proposes an alternative, community-based, public health approach to violence prevention. Violence is among the biggest health threats in the United States. Interpersonal violence has invaded homes, schools, and streets everywhere, reaching what public health experts now conclude are epidemic proportions. Everyone is affected, but the group most affected is youth.

Extractions: policy@sfaf.org The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act (Proposition 36) is a California voter initiative sponsored by the California Campaign for New Drug Policies. The purpose of the initiative is to divert non-violent defendants, probationers and parolees charged with simple drug possession or drug use offenses away from incarceration and into community-based substance abuse treatment programs. Proposition 36 will appear on the California ballot in the November 7, 2000 general election. Background Proposition 36 modifies state sentencing laws so that an offender convicted of a nonviolent drug possession offense would generally be diverted to county probation supervision and participation in a drug treatment program instead of incarceration in state prison or county jail. This measure would apply in cases of felony or misdemeanor criminal charges for individuals under the influence of illegal drugs or arrested for possession of illegal drugs or drug paraphernalia (such as syringes) for personal use. It would not apply in cases involving the sale, production, or manufacturing of illegal drugs. Parolees with no serious or violent prior felonies who violate a drug-related condition of parole could also be diverted into this treatment system, rather than face re-incarceration. Under this initiative, treatment would be guaranteed to any offender who qualifies.

The Benefits And Costs Of Drug Use Prevention Model schoolbased drug use prevention programs can reduce lifetime cocaine the social costs of cocaine use in terms of health, crime, and other costs. http://www.rand.org/publications/RB/RB6007/
Extractions: The United States has for some time now been spending tens of billions of dollars a year in an attempt to control the trafficking and use of illicit drugs; most of those dollars have been used to support stricter enforcement. Few people, however, would claim that America's drug problem has been solved. There is growing doubt that the United States will be able to incarcerate its way out of its drug problem, and polls have shown a corresponding increase in public support for preventive approaches to reducing drug consumption. But how effective is preventionand at what price? Would a national program be feasibleand justifiable? These questions were addressed by a team of researchers from RAND's Drug Policy Research Center . The new research supported the following conclusions: Model school-based drug use prevention programs can reduce lifetime cocaine consumption, although by relatively small proportionsbetween 2 and 11 percent. Prevention, however, is inexpensive, so for each program dollar spent, it can reduce cocaine consumption as much as some enforcement strategies canalthough not as much as treatment.

Extractions: President Sanford A. Newman Deputy Directors Amy R. Dawson Brendan J. Fitzsimons Fight Crime: Invest in Kids From America's Front Line Against Crime: A School and Youth Violence Prevention Plan As an organization of more than of police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors, crime survivors and leaders of police officer organizatons, we are determined to see that dangerous criminals are put behind bars. But anyone who thinks that jailing a criminal undoes the agony crime leaves in its wake hasn't seen crime up close. America's anti-crime arsenal contains no weapons more powerful than the proven programs that help kids get the right start in lifeprograms like school readiness child care, youth development programs for the after-school and summer hours, child abuse prevention, and intervention programs proven to help get troubled kids back on track. Yet today, inadequate funding for Head Start, school readiness child care, after-school youth development programs and counseling for troubled kids leaves millions of children at needless risk of becoming violent or delinquent teens and adult criminalsand leaves every American at needless risk of becoming a victim. We call on all public officials to adopt a four-part plan to dramatically reduce crime and violence, and help young people learn the skills and values they need to become good neighbors and responsible adults. While no plan can prevent every violent act, this common-sense planbased on our experience and the latest research about what really works to fight crimecan make all of us safer.
