As reported in issue #123
of The Week Online (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/123.html#ukpolicereport),
the Cleveland (UK) Police Force has issued a report highly critical of
prohibition as a basis for drug policy. The report, signed by Chief
Constable Brian Shaw, is now online at http://www.user1.netcarrier.com/~aahpat/ukpol.htm.
DRCNet highly recommends
reading the report, which outlines the problems, from a police and societal
perspective, inherent in a policy of punitive prohibition and calls for
high-level debate into the very underpinnings of a failed policy.
