New York City's Marijuana Arrest Rate is Wildly Out of Control
Two of my colleagues, Deborah Small and Prof. Harry Levine, have analyzed New York City's marijuana policy in a major report released Wednesday the New York Civil Liberties Union. The chart appearing above pretty makes the central point, but check out Jacob Sullum's piece in Reason for a good general discussion of the report's findings and implications.
Also, Scott wrote here last night about an important side angle, why it's a bad idea to take out your marijuana to give it to police.
Yesterday's is a must-read too.
