Unequal Under Law: Race in the War on Drugs

Unequal Under Law: Race in the War on Drugs

by Doris Marie Provine (Author)

Synopsis

Race is a factor in government efforts to control dangerous drugs, but the precise ways that race affects drug laws remain difficult to pinpoint. Illuminating this relationship, this book lays out how decades of racism helped shape a punitive US drug policy whose onerous impact on racial minorities has been ignored by Congress and the courts.
