The current war on drugs has radically transformed the criminal justice system. Although criminologists are aware of the multitudes of problematic justice system outcomes associated with this war, the widespread social, economic, health, political, and human costs of the current antidrug crusade have not been studied extensively by criminologists. The objective of this study is to bring attention to these broader societal costs of the drug war.

Key Words: drug policy • social consequences • health consequences
