Drug Policy in Latin America

Have harsh drug control policies caused more harm than good?

The issue of migration to the United States from Latin America has overshadowed the war on drugs, which has been underway for decades with little signs of progress. What are the roots and the bureaucratic logic behind today's dominant drug policies in Latin America? Is it time to reconsider punitive drug policies that disrupt supply chains and punish drug possession? Presented by Dr. Jetsabe Caceres, Associate Professor and Department Chair – Political Science and Public Administration, University of Toledo.
