Half-Truth in Sentencing presents a comprehensive summary of the United State's current drug policy.

Additionally, this book examines several innovative solutions adopted around the U.S. that address a common crisis facing many American communities - Are there realistic policies that treat drug addiction and combat crime associated with an illegal drug market? Using in-depth legal research, Half-Truth in Sentencing provides a large amount of legal and sociological information in a digestible format that can be used as a powerful resource for reform, legislation, or just understanding how the United States arrived at the current drug policies responsible for so much financial cost, incarceration, and controversy.
