Author: Bumbarger, Brian K. Title: Is There a Role for Police in School-based Drug Prevention? The Law-Enforcement Education Partnership to Promote LifeSkills Training (LEEP-LST) Project: Final Report Summary: This project was a pilot study intended to explore the potential utility of using police officers to deliver a school-based drug prevention curriculum. As prevention research continues to inform public policy, practitioners and policy makers are moving to the adoption of prevention strategies with demonstrated evidence of effectiveness in well-designed studies. Of the programs with strong empirical support, there were no examples that involved police officers in school-based prevention (demand reduction) efforts. This had the unfortunate and unintended consequence of alienating police agencies who desired to work collaboratively with schools in substance abuse prevention, and has limited the options of schools who wish to pursue empirically supported programs. The results show that police officers are capable of delivering a quality prevention program with fidelity, and suggest that disappointing results in prior research with officer-delivered curricula should not be attributed to officers being a poor fit for this type of work.

Author: Mejia, Daniel Title: The War on Illegal Drugs in Producer and Consumer Countries: A Simple Analytical Framework Summary: This paper develops a model of the war against illegal drugs in both producer and consumer countries. The paper studies the trade-off faced by the government of the drug consumer country between prevention policies (aimed at reducing the demand for drugs) and enforcement policies (aimed at reducing the production and trafficking of drugs), and shows how the optimal allocation of resources between these two alternatives depends on the key parameters of the model. We use available data for the war on drugs in Colombia, and against consumption in the U.S., to calibrate the unobservable parameters of the model, such as the price elasticity of demand for cocaine; the effectiveness of prevention and treatment policies; and the relative effectiveness of interdiction efforts.
