View Academic Calendar
This course is an in-depth study of the epidemic of drug abuse and its association with crime. The course encompasses all aspects of both legal and illegal drug abuse, pharmacology, gang activity, youth, violence and behavioral pathology. It will also provide a robust examination of public policy issues associated with resolving the national drug control issue, drug trafficking, legalization, and the law enforcement response. Students will have the opportunity to discuss contemporary drug related issues of the day related to enforcement, medical treatment, harm reduction or educational responses. Professor directed research in any of these drug policy issue areas will close out the course enabling students to apply knowledge gained from the course to intelligently formulate their own opinions to develop possible societal solutions to this important national policy crisis.
