American Public University Drugs and Crime Discussion

I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

This week’s reading provides an overview of the research on drugs and crime in the United States. After reviewing the reading for week 6, as well as the week 6 discussion articles in the lesson for this week, discuss/debate with your classmates your position on which factors you feel play a greater role pertaining to the problems associated with drugs and crime in the United States. Discuss with your classmates’ possible solutions to the problems of illegal drug use and present a drug-control strategy that you believe would work. Defend your recommendations citing studies and/or other academic research.
