Welcome to Effectiveness Bank alerts, provided by Drug and Alcohol Findings to alert you to site
updates and recent evaluation studies and reviews with important practice implications.

ENFORCEMENT CRACKDOWNS MAKE DRUG MARKETS MORE VIOLENT
Finding that more drug enforcement has generally been linked to more drug-related violence, this
updated review suggest that crackdowns which fail to suppress an illicit drug market may simply make
it more violent, raising the overall level of violence where such markets are widespread and
endemic. Just how this might have happened in the reviewed studies - and whether maybe it was more
violence which led to more enforcement - are among the open questions.
