Book Synopsis Asset Forfeitures by : Ronny T. Rowell

Book excerpt: Based on extensive research and interviews with experts in the asset forfeiture process at federal, state, and local levels, this futures study examined the impact of asset forfeiture on the fiscal operation of medium-sized law enforcement agencies by the year 2001. Three subissues were selected for inclusion in the study: how competition for available resources will affect the use of forfeited assets, how local political influences will impact the use of forfeited assets, and how the acquisition of forfeited assets will affect an agency's enforcement priorities. The nominal group technique was employed to forecast trends and events that might relate to the issue of asset forfeiture. Trends included the use of forfeiture funds to supplant the normal budget, competition for available resources, forfeited asset use as affected by service demands, pressure on narcotic units to seize money, and potential for corruption. Events considered to be possible involved repeal of forfeiture laws, major scandal in a police department, audits of forfeiture cases that result in sanctions, and move by major drug cartels to another locality. Strategic and transition management plans were developed based on the Fullerton, California Police Department as a model agency. It was determined that law enforcement must consider new methods for locating and identifying the proceeds of drug trafficking and that law enforcement needs to improve its political base and lobbying capabilities. Appendixes provide further information on the futures study methodology and results.

Book Synopsis Drugs, Crime, and Justice by : Larry K. Gaines
Download or read book Drugs, Crime, and Justice written by Larry K. Gaines. This book was released on 2013-12-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-six articles in this edited volume provide perspective on the interrelated issues surrounding the use of drugs in society. Although drugs have long been a social problem, the importance of the issue—and the involvement of the criminal justice system—have varied across time. Public concern has typically centered on illegal drugs, but the drug issue today is even more complex given the impact of prescription drugs. Exaggeration has been a constant theme in the history of public policy on drugs, usually playing on public fear to demonize specific drugs and users. Some drugs are more dangerous than others. The variations in effects impact enforcement, prevention, and treatment. If we are going to criminalize drugs and drug usage, policies and penalties should be based on the relative dangerousness of a drug or class of drugs. Policies can reduce harm, create harm, or both. Our current drug policies attempt to reduce harm through law enforcement. We arrest anyone involved in drug activities under the premise of protecting society. These same policies, however, result in the incarceration of large numbers of people; they are expensive; they overburden the criminal justice system; and they have lasting consequences for those caught up in the drug war no matter how minor their offenses. Drug policies should be weighed carefully, implementing those that result in the least amount of harm to society. The editors have collected timely articles that provide perspective and a foundation for an informed approach to addressing problems associated with drug use.
