ECPI UNIVERSITY Drug Courts and Legislation Discussion

Description

This week we have examined drug courts and legalization of marijuana including the effects of such. As we continue to learn more about these topics, we must explore the history of drug legislation. Drug policies and legislation extend beyond the last few years and have shaped the current standards, processes, and expectations used within the criminal justice system. Drug courts are one example of a “demand-side strategy” by the court system to address “the drug problem” by reducing the demand of illegal drugs.
